Hayo extends its presence into Senegal

Hayo extends its presence into Senegal

Hayo, a global digital service provider, says it has expanded its footprint in Francophone Africa with on-the-ground presence in Senegal.

The addition of Senegal, says Hayo, strengthens its West African footprint to meet growing digital demand from local service providers, enterprises and government entities, joining its existing presence in Niger, Liberia, Ghana and Cameroon.

Hayo has over three decades of experience in more than 30 African markets, combining communications, govtech and other digital solutions across communications, compliance & taxation, security, and IoT & RDS to drive local digital economies. The expansion into Senegal, says Hayo, marks another step in its long-term strategy to deepen its footprint across Francophone Africa and accelerate digital and economic growth.

The company adds that it has hired Abdoulaye Dabo, Senior Partnership and Strategy Manager, to support French-speaking markets in West Africa. Abdoulaye Dabo has almost a decade of telecoms experience in Africa, including roles at Airtel, LAfrica Mobile and other regional service providers.

He will drive Hayo's growth across Francophone West Africa, identifying new opportunities and building strategic collaborations across the region, while leading the cross-functional delivery of voice, data, and CPaaS solutions.

Hayo points out that more than 60% of the world’s daily French speakers now live in Africa, and this is expected to rise to nearly 85% by 2050 according to the International Organisation of the Francophonie (OIF). Francophone Africa is also home to some of the fastest-growing digital markets on the continent, with accelerating demand for networking, technologies and communications solutions.

This hasn’t been the only news from Hayo lately. As we reported earlier this month, Niger’s Zamani Telecom has signed a partnership agreement with Hayo covering A2P monetisation and SMS firewall solutions.
