The second edition of Huawei ICT Competition Cote d’Ivoire will be launched on September 09 at the African School of Information and Communication Technologies (ESATIC) in Abidjan.
Huawei ICT Competition Cote d’Ivoire is a competition aimed at developing talent in the telecommunications, information and communication (ICT) industry, thus contributing to the emergence of a solid and sustainable ecosystem and reducing the digital divide in the country.
This second edition will be sponsored as last year by the Ivorian Ministry of Digital Economy, Telecommunications and Innovation. Several actors in the ICT sector, directors of major schools and universities, and potential candidates are expected to attend the launch.
This competition is open to all students regularly enrolled in universities and colleges in Cote d’Ivoire. “The particularity of the 2021 edition is that at the end of the national competition, a sub-regional competition will oppose the Ivorian winners to those of Burkina Faso, Guinea and Benin,” said an information note, specifying that “the winners from Cote d’Ivoire will be work at Huawei as interns.”
