A delegation from Leonardo, led by Chairman Stefano Pontecorvo, is currently in Ivory Coast to fully implement the Mattei Plan in support of the African nation. The mission focuses on presenting and offering the company’s technological solutions to the government of Abidjan as part of the broader collaboration initiative.

The delegation has held institutional meetings, including the Ministers of Agriculture, Home Affairs, and Digitalization. During these meetings, Leonardo presented its technological applications across several sectors, including agriculture, cybersecurity, digitalization and healthcare.

By leveraging the company’s expertise in cybersecurity and the capabilities of Telespazio and e-Geos in geo-information, Leonardo is equipped to address the needs of the Ivorian government. This includes offering cutting-edge solutions in Artificial Intelligence, big data collection and analysis, and cloud computing, with particular focus on infrastructure development.

In the coming days, as part of the Mattei Plan, a Leonardo’s delegation will visit other North African countries. The delegation has already visited Angola.

The Leonardo delegation was accompanied in all institutional meetings in Abidjan by the Italian Ambassador to Ivory Coast, Arturo Luzzi, and the Ivorian Ambassador to Rome, Nogozene Bakayoko.
