Tech innovation is a shared aspiration between the Republic of the Congo and the rest of the African continent. The youth across Africa have been widely mobilized, actively participating in the wave of innovation, from startups to explorations in various cutting-edge fields, according to Denis Sassou Nguesso, president of the Republic of the Congo.

Sassou Nguesso made the remarks in an exclusive interview with China Media Group in early September while he was in Beijing for the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation and a state visit.
