Orange Botswana celebrates the business’ CEO, Nene Maïga, on her prestigious Female Innovator of the Year Award 2023, received at the Africa Tech Festival Awards in Cape Town, South Africa. This distinguished accolade recognises the exceptional contributions of women in the fields of technology, media, and telecommunications across the African continent.
Having assumed the role of CEO at Orange Botswana in 2021, Nene Maïga is widely regarded as a trailblazer in the telecom industry. Her selection as one of the six outstanding women contending for this award underscores her exceptional leadership, unwavering dedication, and ceaseless efforts in propelling innovation and excellence within the technology sector.
The Africa Tech Festival Awards, a part of the larger Africa Tech Festival, celebrate the significant impact of individuals and organisations in driving technological advancements, connectivity, and digital transformation across Africa. The Female Innovator of the Year Award specifically focuses on acknowledging the achievements of women who have demonstrated extraordinary leadership in these sectors.
Under Nene Maïga’s leadership, Orange Botswana continues to exhibit resilience, growth, and strong performance as a market leader, offering customers a range of services such as voice, data, value-added services, mobile money, and robust B2B offerings.
Throughout her tenure, the telecommunications company has transcended traditional connectivity, providing technological solutions that have profoundly impacted the daily lives of Batswana. In 2022, Orange Botswana introduced 5G technology, positioning Botswana as a prominent player in the mobile communications sector. This ushered in 5G-enabled partnerships that brought forth innovations in e-health, connected vehicles and cities, real-time gaming, and smart homes. Notably, the collaboration with MRI Botswana resulted in the creation of a connected ambulance, enabling doctors to guide paramedics through life-saving procedures en route to hospitals — a feat attributed to the capabilities of 5G technology, as emphasized by CEO Nene Maïga.
In response to her nomination, Nene Maïga expressed her gratitude, stating, “I am deeply honored to have been recognized in this manner for my contribution to the tech, media, and telecom sectors in Africa.
