From September 2024, a research group from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne will travel to Abidjan in Ivory Coast as part of the "Digital Solutions for the Sustainable City in West Africa" project. It aims in particular the development of teleworking, e-commerce and remote management of road traffic in four cities in the sub-region.
Abidjan in Ivory Coast, Bamako in Mali, Cotonou in Benin and Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso. These four cities could soon be digitized thanks to the “Digital Solutions for Sustainable Cities in West Africa” project led by the Excellence in Africa (EXAF) research center at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne.
