ICT: Technical staff engaged on ongoing and future digital transformation initiatives

Digital transformation initiatives and future technology projects were the focus of a presentation session held yesterday at the Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Tower in Ébène, bringing together technical officers from the Ministry of Information Technology, Communication and Innovation, its departments and organisations operating under its purview.

The session, held as part of a staff workshop, provided an opportunity for technical staff to engage on ongoing and upcoming digital transformation initiatives. Addressing participants, the Minister of Information Technology, Communication and Innovation, Dr Avinash Ramtohul, called on them to further contribute to the successful implementation of these initiatives.

He highlighted the importance of bringing together all technical personnel to provide a comprehensive overview of the Ministry’s journey, from the inception of key projects to the milestones achieved and the objectives ahead. He recalled the support being provided by Government to facilitate the implementation of a range of technological and digital initiatives, and noted that several projects have already been undertaken at the Ministry level while others have been implemented in collaboration with partner Ministries.

According to Dr Ramtohul, it was essential to ensure that all technical employees were fully informed about the various projects being carried out by the Ministry and its affiliated entities. Speaking of the significant untapped potential exists within the technical workforce, he called on officers to contribute beyond their current responsibilities.

He moreover encouraged members of different technical teams to collaborate across projects and participate actively in initiatives where they could make meaningful contributions.

This workshop provided an opportunity to review progress achieved over the past eighteen months, reflect on challenges encountered, and discuss key national projects, the implementation of the Digital Transformation Blueprint 2025–2029, the National AI Strategy 2025–2030, cybersecurity, digital trust, data governance, digital public services and the Ministry’s vision for a more connected and innovative Mauritius.
