South Africa’s Department of
Communications and Digital Technologies has held high-level discussions with
Amazon Web Services (AWS) on expanding collaboration around cloud computing,
artificial intelligence and the country’s broader digital transformation
agenda.
The engagement brought
together Communications and Digital Technologies Minister Solly Malatsi and the
AWS Sub-Saharan Africa leadership team, led by Tanuja Randery, AWS Vice
President for EMEA.
Discussions focused on how
public-private partnerships can accelerate South Africa’s digital
transformation and expand the use of cloud and AI technologies across
government and the wider economy.
The engagement also explored
the role of technology in improving public service delivery, supporting
innovation, strengthening digital skills and creating new opportunities for
citizens and businesses.
AWS said it remains
committed to working with the South African government as a technology partner
to support the country’s digital development objectives.
