Egyptian Benya Capital and the Congolese Post and Telecommunications Company (SCPT) on February 2nd agreed to the deployment of 16,000 km of optical fiber across the Democratic Republic of Congo during the Congolese President's visit to Egypt following months of negotiations. This fiber deployment will materialise the Congolese President's desire to make digital technology a national development pillar. Benya Capital's new broadband telecom infrastructure will contribute to improving the coverage of the national territory in high-speed connectivity, reducing the digital divide and strengthening the technical means needed for digital transformation.
