CCT Africa 2026, the pan-African executive summit for cloud, content and telecoms, opened yesterday at the Sugar Beach Hotel in Flic en Flac, bringing together 150 CEOs and senior executives from 88 organizations and 26 countries. Organized in Mauritius for the fourth consecutive year, the summit reinforces the country's growing role as a trusted meeting place where African leaders meet, build partnerships and advance the continent's digital agenda. Mauritius Telecom is the host partner of this three-day meeting.

CCT Africa has made Mauritius its home port since its first edition in 2023. This choice is due to much more than the attractiveness of the destination. Mauritius brings together stability, international connectivity, financial and investment capacity, digital infrastructure and institutional credibility: a combination that makes it a natural platform for high-level African dialogue.

Its position between Africa and Asia also gives Mauritius a unique role as a bridge between markets, investors, technological partners and emerging opportunities. By bringing together leaders from across the continent in one place, the summit creates the conditions for ideas to become partnerships, and for partnerships to move into execution.

It brings together leaders from the operator, service provider, cloud, data center, content, finance and investment communities for direct and straightforward exchanges.

Its participatory format combines panels led by experts with structured networking sequences. The closed session allows leaders to express themselves freely among peers, while dedicated working groups continue throughout the year to advance defined priorities and transform dialogue into concrete initiatives.

“In 2023, we launched a bold idea with the support of our founding partners Angola Cables, WIOCC and Liquid Intelligent Technologies: bringing together in the same room, at the highest level, the entire value chain of African digital infrastructures for an open and collaborative dialogue. This idea has become a reference meeting for the continent and for the digital infrastructure ecosystem. Every year, leaders come to Mauritius from all over Africa and beyond, and they leave with partnerships and concrete projects to extend discussions, not just with perspectives. This is exactly
