New York, Sept 23, 2025 — On the sidelines of the 80th United Nations General Assembly, President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo launched one of the most ambitious visions of his presidency: DRC Digital Nation 2030.


Before a packed room of investors, global partners, and business leaders, the Head of State described digital transformation as the key to unlocking Congo’s vast potential, creating millions of jobs, and ensuring shared prosperity for the Congolese people.

If we are gathered today, it is to affirm a clear and measured ambition: to make the Democratic Republic of Congo a prosperous digital nation and a technological hub at the heart of Africa by 2030,” Tshisekedi declared.

A Paradigm Shift for Africa’s Future

The president highlighted that Congo’s wealth in rare and critical minerals essential to global digital and energy transitions gives the country a natural role in shaping the future. By building robust digital infrastructure, modern governance, and innovation ecosystems, he said the DRC will become both a catalyst for investment and a provider of solutions to global challenges.



Digital transformation, Tshisekedi stressed, has been central to his development policy since 2019. He reaffirmed his conviction that by 2030, the DRC will stand as a “driving force for inclusive and shared digital peace.”


Strategic Pillars of the Digital Agenda

The “Digital Nation 2030” roadmap rests on:

  • Infrastructure – expanding connectivity across Congo’s vast territory.
