Ethiopia hosts over one million refugees under one of Africa’s most progressive refugee policies. Expanding reliable broadband infrastructure in refugee and host community areas is critical to enabling humanitarian operations and unlocking access to communication, education, financial services, and other essential services. Digital inclusion is not just about connectivity, it is a foundation for resilience, economic participation, and long-term integration.

As part of this initiative, our team is currently on a mission in Ethiopia, working closely with the ECA project team and meeting key stakeholders from both private and public domains. The objective is clear: translate assessment insights into actionable, high-impact interventions that accelerate deployment, strengthen coordination, and ensure sustainable connectivity solutions that meaningfully improve the lives of refugees and host communities alike.

At Salience, we are incredibly proud to have supported Beyon throughout the analytical and bid preparation journey behind this win. From financial, technical and commercial analysis to strategic positioning and bid development, this was a true team effort so we are very happy with the successful selection.

The announcement, made in Kuwait by KAPP, marks the next phase in establishing a project company under a 50-year Public Private Partnership agreement. Under this agreement, Beyon will design, finance, build, operate, and maintain Kuwait’s nationwide high-speed fiber broadband network, with a total investment exceeding $2.8 billion over the lifetime of the partnership.

Proud of the Salience team behind this success story.

Across these sectors, one message was consistent: the next wave of growth will be enabled by trusted, scalable ICT foundations, from connectivity and platforms to data governance, cybersecurity, and AI-ready infrastructure.

We had a number of valuable discussions focused on where the market is heading and what partners need to move from ambition to execution, particularly around demand signals, adoption barriers, and what “ready for scale” truly means.

A standout conversation was with the HUMAIN team, exploring current market demand, monetizing AI, near-term priorities, and the conditions required to accelerate adoption across region and industries.

As we continue supporting the Saudi ICT ecosystem, our focus remains on translating these conversations into practical value, helping partners deliver solutions that are bankable, interoperable, and built for long-term outcomes.
