Meanwhile, the Financial Corridor aims to scale my.t money into a cross-border payment solution, enhancing regional financial integration.
The roadmap is reinforced by strong cybersecurity measures, digital skills development programs, greener infrastructure, and the ambition of “AI for every Mauritian”. Together, these initiatives underscore Mauritius Telecom’s commitment to driving innovation, promoting inclusive digital progress, and positioning Mauritius as a leading digital hub for the region.
