Supporting digital transformation in Africa

As a firm recognised for its neutrality and independence, TACTIS works with public authorities across a range of areas (studies on universal service and coverage of unserved areas, regional digital development plans, broadband and very-high-speed master plans, PPP structuring for digital infrastructure, smart city master plans, sustainable city and eco-district projects), with sector regulators (telecoms, energy, digital), telecommunications operators, TowerCos and FiberCos, investors, urban developers (planners, architects, property developers) and service operators (mobility and transport, energy, environment). More than half of our revenue is generated internationally, mainly in Africa.

 

Two subsidiaries in Africa

TACTIS operates through two permanent subsidiaries in Africa: Kigali, opened in 2019, and Casablanca, opened in 2020.

The Kigali subsidiary is the centre of expertise for Sub-Saharan and East Africa: telecom infrastructure, broadband and very-high-speed networks, smart cities, data and innovative digital services. The Casablanca subsidiary leads activities in North and West Africa, around the same areas of expertise.
