Impact of War on Sudan's Tech Sector

The civil war in Sudan has severely disrupted the country's developing technology sector, forcing companies like Savannah Innovation Labs to relocate operations and adapt to challenging conditions. After the outbreak of war, significant logistical hurdles arose, including the loss of their headquarters in Khartoum due to militia takeover, which prevented them from continuing their work in the region. Despite these challenges, Savannah has maintained its mission by creating partnerships with tech organizations in neighboring countries such as Egypt, Kenya, and Uganda, aimed at supporting Sudanese refugees in developing their tech businesses. By offering training and connection to global capital, Savannah seeks to help rebuild the tech ecosystem that has been fractured by conflict, focusing on the skills and resources necessary for Sudanese entrepreneurs to thrive.
