Togo and Poland Sign Drone Deal to Enhance Strategic Technologies and Infrastructure
Togo and Poland have entered into a EUR24 million (approximately US$27.85 million) financing agreement aimed at advancing the development of next-generation drones in Togo. This initiative is supported by Cyber Defense Africa, a cybersecurity company formed through a public-private partnership between the Togolese government and the European technology group Asseco Data Systems. The project, known as the Africa Drone Company, will focus on the design, assembly, and deployment of drones across various sectors such as security, agriculture, logistics, industry, and infrastructure monitoring. The agreement was signed in Lome during a visit by Poland's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Affairs, Krzysztof Gawkowski. The initiative also includes a training program to build local expertise and ensure the sector's sustainable growth, alongside cybersecurity measures to protect critical infrastructure and combat disinformation.
