Market Overview
Senegalese web development market
Dakar is becoming West Africa's most investable emerging technology city, propelled by Senegal's Emerging Senegal Plan (Plan Senegal Emergent), hydrocarbon revenues from new offshore gas fields, and the Wave fintech phenomenon. Wave (Dakar-founded peer-to-peer payments startup, raised USD 200M Series A in 2021 - the largest startup fundraise in sub-Saharan African history at the time) proved that Dakar could originate a globally competitive fintech from scratch. Dakar hosts the Dakar Digital Hub (Hub de l'Economie Numerique du Senegal - HENS), a government-backed technology incubator, and Jangal Industries, an accelerator funded by international development organisations. The University Cheikh Anta Diop (UCAD) and the Ecole Superieure Polytechnique produce French-English bilingual engineers at competitive quality. Data protection is governed by Law 2008-12 on Personal Data Protection, enforced by CDP (Commission de Protection des Donnees Personnelles) - one of sub-Saharan Africa's most active data protection authorities, issuing enforcement notices annually since 2022.
Market Fact
Wave, founded in Dakar in 2017, became the largest and cheapest mobile money service in Senegal within 4 years of launch - processing transactions at zero fees versus Orange Money's 2-3% for person-to-person transfers. Wave's USD 200M Series A (2021) was the largest startup fundraise in sub-Saharan African history. By 2023, Wave had expanded to Ivory Coast, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Uganda - all managed from Dakar's engineering team.
