Interview – Selena SOUAH “Promoting a pan-African telecommunication network”

Gabon | Internet | Internet service provider | Rwanda | Smart Africa

Series: Make internet affordable in Africa – At 29 years old, the French-Gabonese Selena Souah is making an ambitious step: to democratize internet access in Africa. To do so, she created Revolution’air, a Rwandan Internet service provider with pan-African aims.

Founded in 2018 and a member of the Smart Africa alliance, Revolution'air is a Rwandan internet service provider that offers a wireless radio system solution capable of replacing a wired network and giving end users downstream speeds approaching one gigabyte per second (1 GO/s) .

It is this innovative formula that Revolutionair's manager, French-Gabonese tech entrepreneur Selena Souah, is now looking to replicate elsewhere on the continent. After a childhood spent in Gabon, the young woman continued her studies in France, where she obtained a Master's degree in Corporate Finance at the Institut Supérieur de Commerce de Paris (ISC) Upon graduation, she first worked as a financial risk analyst at Banco Espirito Santo et de la Vénétie (BESV) in Paris, before engaging in what is now her main activity, digital entrepreneurship in Africa, via Revolution'air.

To support its growth - and fully realize its ambitions - Revolution'air Ltd is now looking for new financial partners, able to allow it to reach a new level, facing competitors who are generally "heavyweights" of the sector.
