La Société d’Infrastructures Numériques (SIN) et ST DIGITAL ont signé, mardi 26 mai 2026 à Lomé, un partenariat stratégique visant à lancer une offre de services de cloud privé au sein du Lomé Data Centre (LDC).
À travers cette collaboration, les deux entreprises ambitionnent de renforcer la souveraineté numérique du Togo et de soutenir le développement des services digitaux locaux.
L’accord a été conclu entre Attia Byll, directrice générale de la SIN, et Justine Adebiyi, directrice générale de ST DIGITAL Togo. Cette alliance réunit deux acteurs importants du secteur numérique togolais.
La SIN assure la gestion du Lomé Data Centre, une infrastructure certifiée Tier III par l’Uptime Institute, avec un taux de disponibilité estimé à 99,982 %. De son côté, ST DIGITAL est spécialisée dans les solutions de cloud souverain, l’intelligence artificielle et l’ingénierie logicielle en Afrique de l’Ouest.
Le partenariat prévoit principalement l’hébergement et le traitement des données des entreprises directement sur le territoire togolais. L’objectif est de réduire la dépendance aux infrastructures étrangères tout en garantissant une meilleure sécurité des données stratégiques.
Dans le cadre de cette coopération, plusieurs services seront proposés, notamment des solutions cloud et d’intelligence artificielle à des tarifs compétitifs. Des programmes de formation continue sont également prévus afin de renforcer les compétences locales dans le domaine du numérique.
Les deux partenaires souhaitent faire du Lomé Data Centre une référence régionale en matière d’infrastructures numériques en Afrique de l’Ouest. Cette nouvelle offre devrait également renforcer l’attractivité du Togo auprès des entreprises et favoriser la croissance d’un écosystème digital plus solide.
Selon Attia Byll, cette initiative permettra de rendre les services numériques plus accessibles à toutes les catégories d’entreprises.
Elle a expliqué que même les petites structures ou les particuliers qui ne disposent pas des moyens nécessaires pour louer des infrastructures complètes pourront désormais bénéficier de solutions adaptées et abordables.
« Ce partenariat avec ST DIGITAL vise à permettre aux entreprises de toutes tailles d’accéder à des services d’hébergement de données adaptés à leurs besoins et à leurs capacités financières », a-t-elle déclaré.
Pour sa part, Justine Adebiyi considère que cet accord représente bien plus qu’une simple collaboration commerciale. Elle estime qu’il contribuera à positionner le Togo comme un exemple régional dans le domaine de la transformation digitale et de la maîtrise des données numériques.
Déjà présente dans plusieurs pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest et d’Afrique centrale, ST DIGITAL développe des solutions dédiées à la transformation numérique, à l’optimisation des opérations et aux infrastructures cloud de nouvelle génération.

Trump Booed at Historic NBA Finals Appearance
US President Donald Trump faced a mixed reception at Madison Square Garden on Monday as he became the first sitting American president to attend an NBA Finals game.

Israel-Iran Strikes Test Fragile Middle East Diplomacy
The latest exchange of strikes between Israel and Iran has raised fresh concerns about instability in the Middle East, highlighting the fragile state of regional ceasefires and the challenges facing ongoing diplomatic efforts. The confrontation began after Iran launched missiles at Israel, describing the attack as retaliation for Israeli operations in Beirut. Israel responded by carrying out air strikes inside Iran, marking the first direct attack on Iranian territory since a ceasefire between the two countries was reached in April. The escalation unfolded despite public calls from US President Donald Trump urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid further military action. The episode has renewed questions about Washington's ability to influence Israeli decision-making during a period of heightened regional tensions. Following the missile exchange, Trump said he had contacted Netanyahu and encouraged restraint. However, Israeli military operations proceeded shortly […]
Migrants Allege Kidnapping and Abuse in Libya
More than 300 migrants from Iraq's Kurdistan region were allegedly kidnapped and subjected to severe abuse in Libya while attempting to reach the United Kingdom, according to testimonies from former captives and information gathered during a recent investigation. The migrants, most of them young men, were reportedly detained by an armed group after arriving in Libya during the summer of 2025. Families were later contacted and ordered to pay ransom demands of $5,000 for each captive. Relatives who failed to make prompt payments were allegedly threatened with the removal of their loved ones' organs. Several former hostages who have since returned home described months of captivity under harsh conditions. They reported being held in overcrowded cells, suffering physical abuse, and receiving minimal food and medical care. Some of the released migrants showed scars and injuries they said resulted from torture […]
Iran and Israel Pause Attacks Amid Diplomatic Push
Iran and Israel have announced a halt in their latest military exchanges, easing fears of a broader regional escalation after both sides launched attacks against each other for the first time since a ceasefire agreement reached in April.

The latest confrontation began after Iran launched missiles toward Israel on Sunday, describing the attack as a response to an Israeli strike in Beirut. Israel retaliated overnight with air […]

Lilian Afegbai apologises to AMVCA for outburst over snub
Nollywood actress Lilian Afegbai has apologised to the organisers of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards for her earlier outburst over being left out of this year’s nominations.
