Vision 2030 for Mauritius (Version of 2019/20 – 2021/22)

By 1 Comment

Whenever I get the opportunity, I like talking about Vision 2030 of the Government for Mauritius. This three year strategic plan for Mauritius is updated whenever there is a budget speech.

The latest version is available online at:

The two previous versions are also still online and are interesting as reference material:

I would advise every Mauritian to broadly understand Vision 2030. A lot of budget measures announced over the past few years become clearer once they are put into the Vision 2030 context.

Enjoy 🙂

CNBC Africa panel on the rise of Africa’s digital economy

By Leave a Comment

On 3 December 2018, I participated in a CNBC panel on “The rise of Africa’s digital economy”.

Together with the other panelists, I had the opportunity to share my views on Mauritius and how the country can fully participate in the digital revolution in the African continent.

I explained how technology can be a formidable enabler to create a better society. Of course, for this to happen, people need to understand the technology and this requires a better education system.

I was on Talk of the Town, together with Shateeaum Sewpaul and Vishal Seeboruth, on Wednesday 21 November 2018 to talk about Artificial Intelligence and the World AI Show / World Blockchain Summit in Mauritius happening from 28 to 30 November 2018.

I talked about Sophia, the humanoid AI robot, the changing nature of jobs and the kind of job prospects which will exist in the future.
