Senegal's Digital Technology Park (PTN, since rebranded Senegal Connect Park) in Diamniadio, 30km from Dakar, restarted construction in November 2025 after a multi-year stall the government blamed on technical and administrative hurdles. Its 12.5-hectare first phase — three towers, a data centre, a startup incubator and a training centre — targeted a March 2026 opening; independent confirmation that it opened on schedule could not be found.
