ICT partners in North Africa

The countries of North Africa include Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and the Western Sahara, Libya, Egypt, North and South Sudan.

Historically, this region has strong economic ties to Europe and to the United Arab Emirates, and is often used as a platform by companies looking to develop their commercial activities on the African continent.

For the purposes of our ICT distribution study, we divided this region into two parts, the North West and the North East.
These two parts of North Africa have known different historical influences which have impacted their ICT economy in different ways. The western part has strong ties with Europe, particularly France, Spain and Italy, whose languages are spoken alongside Arabic.
The eastern part has more ties with the Middle East and is more Anglophone.
