Botswana Telecommunications Corporation Limited (BTC) successfully hosted its Innovation Day 2024, a landmark event dedicated to driving digital transformation and fostering innovation within the ICT sector. Held at the BTC Headquarters, Megaleng House, the event brought together industry leaders, Government officials, innovators, and stakeholders to discuss and showcase the latest advancements in technology and innovation. Additionally, a panel discussion was held under the topic “Leveraging on the power of collaborative innovation to unlock opportunities in a digital economy”. Panelists used this session to share their insights, experiences and inspiration for thinking outside the box. BTC is committed to evolving from a traditional telecommunications company (Telco) into a technology company (Digital Business) through its digital transformation strategy. This strategy aims to transform the company’s culture and services to meet the needs of the modern digital customer, ensuring that BTC remains relevant and competitive in the fast-evolving digital landscape. 

“Our dedication to fostering a culture of innovation within BTC is unwavering. We are committed to adopting cutting-edge technologies and developing new digital services that cater to the dynamic needs of our customers. Moreover, BTC’s Innovation Day aligns with Botswana’s national vision of becoming a digitally transformed, knowledge-based economy. Hosting events such as the BTC Innovation Day, not only showcases our commitment to innovation but also supports the broader agenda of socio-economic development and competitiveness in the global digital economy,” said the Managing Director for BTC, Anthony Masunga.
