Raxio Côte d'Ivoire created a partnership with the country's telecom regulator ARTCI through a formal agreement. The deal allows ARTCI to place the nation's third internet exchange point inside Raxio's data center. The facility sits within Grand Bassam's VITIB technology park and represents the first arrangement of its kind for Côte d'Ivoire. Both companies view this partnership as essential for advancing the country's technology goals. The agreement marks a major step forward for digital development across the West African nation.
The new internet exchange point will provide several important benefits for local users and businesses. Network traffic will move faster between local internet providers and reduce delays for users. The system will strengthen the country's control over its digital information and data security. International content companies may choose to establish services closer to Côte d'Ivoire users. Technology startups and internet service providers will gain better access to digital infrastructure.
Company leaders from both organizations attended the signing ceremony to formalize their partnership. Robert Skjodt leads Raxio Côte d'Ivoire and expressed excitement about supporting national digital strategy. Lakoun Ouattara heads ARTCI and emphasized the importance of digital independence for the country. The new system will reduce dependence on expensive international internet connections. Local businesses and residents will experience improved internet quality and more reliable digital services.
