SpaceX and Jumia Partner to Revolutionize Internet Access in Africa

Update: 05 OCTOBER 2023
SpaceX, in collaboration with Jumia Technologies AG, is set to transform internet access in Africa, addressing the continent’s low internet connectivity rates. Jumia, a leading e-commerce platform in Africa, will assist in distributing Starlink’s satellite terminals and kits, ensuring that even remote areas have access to cutting-edge internet technologies. The initial launch of this partnership will take place in Nigeria, with plans to expand services to other African countries in the near future. Hisham El Gabry, Jumia’s Chief Commercial Officer, expressed optimism about the potential of this collaboration, believing that it could revolutionize internet access in regions that have long struggled with connectivity issues. Traditional telecom providers face challenges in expanding infrastructure to underserved areas, but Starlink’s low-earth orbit satellites offer a promising solution. These satellites provide reliable broadband services, even in previously inaccessible regions. Unlike previous attempts by tech giants such as Meta Platforms Inc and Alphabet Inc to bridge the digital divide in Africa, Starlink’s network of small satellites and user terminals presents a viable alternative. It promises to bring high-speed and low-latency internet access to underserved regions across the continent. This groundbreaking partnership between SpaceX and Jumia aims to ensure that Africa takes its rightful place in the global online community as the world moves further into the digital age.
