Smart Building! Smart City! Smart AFRICA!

1.What does the infrastructure market represent in Africa?
GS: A report   from the IMF estimates that about 100 billion$/year is needed in investments for infrastructure in Africa, extensions and maintenance combined. This report studies the delays in investment, the development and maintenance needs. It demonstrates with strong accuracy that a solid infrastructural network needs to be established on the continent: Smart Africa!

2.What are the main sectors for this market?
GS: The answer is not easy because it varies depending on the country. Globally, it concerns building management, production and distribution of energy, transportation, water and waste treatment as well as the ICT (Information and Communication technology) sector.

3.How does ARC Informatique contribute to the market?
GS: ARC Informatique provides solutions offering optimal control over your processes, it allows operators real-time monitoring and better decision making.
These solutions are implemented by previously trained engineering companies and system integrators.
PcVue SCADA, ARC Informatique’s core product, is used in all fields around the world, notably in Africa (MOROCCO, NIGERIA, GABON, MAURITIUS, KENYA, TANZANIA, SENEGAL, IVORY COAST, ANGOLA, REPUBLIC OF CONGO, EGYPT…).

4.Does ARC Informatique give priority to projects favoring the training of the local population and local employees?
GS: This is one of ARC Informatique’s singularities! We recently launched a program designed for institutions focusing on new technologies, in order to ensure quality and production traceability. The program was implemented in Tanzania with KIITEC  through Jean-Pierre ACQUADRO (President of ADEI – Technical teaching for developing countries).

Dedicated to Africa this project aims to recruit institutions (high school, technical institutes, engineering school, etc.) and to offer the necessary SCADA licenses and trainings to teachers so they can remain independent.

With this program, we hope to participate in the birth of vocations and the maturation of a strong ecosystem, developing talents and skills.

To be the next institution to benefit from this free program dedicated only for teachers, thank you to send us back the application form.
