The Universal Telecommunications Service Development Fund (FDSUT) has officially inaugurated the Living Lab of Ziguinchor, a new innovation and collaboration space aimed at supporting digital development and territorial transformation in southern Senegal.
The initiative was announced by the Fonds de Développement du Service Universel des Télécommunications, which invited stakeholders and the public to follow the opening ceremony and explore the new facility.

According to FDSUT, the facility forms part of broader efforts to promote digital transformation and strengthen access to technology-driven opportunities across Senegal’s regions.
