Strategic Dimensions
Image

Digital Infrastructure Maturity

Building secure, scalable and interoperable foundations to enable AI deployment and seamless data sharing. This dimension focuses on consolidating national digital assets, including sovereign cloud infrastructure, high-performance computing (HPC) clusters and the Citizen Data Hub (CDH), which acts as a "single source of truth" for the population.

Image

Innovation Culture & Ecosystem

Stimulating a vibrant environment for AI research, start-ups and technopreneurship through deep collaboration between government, industry and academia. Key initiatives include the Mauritius AI Technology Park and Regulatory Sandboxes, which provide controlled spaces to test emerging technologies like generative AI safely under regulatory oversight.

Image

AI for ALL and Inclusion (AI4AI)

Ensuring that every citizen—regardless of age, literacy level, or profession—is empowered with the awareness and skills to participate in the AI economy. This people-centered agenda delivers multilingual learning tools (in English, French, and Kreol) and targeted outreach to ensure no one is left behind as technology advances.

Image

Regulatory Framework

Establishing a trusted, principles-based governance model that balances innovation with ethical safeguards. Anchored by the FAIR principles (Fairness, Accountability, Inclusiveness & Integrity and Responsibility), this framework provides risk-proportionate oversight to protect constitutional rights and maintain public trust.

Image

PPP Adoption
(Public, Private, People)

The adoption of AI in the public and private sectors is supported by a Public–Private–People Partnership (PPPP) approach. This means government, businesses, academia and citizens work together to develop and use AI. The public sector benefits from private sector innovation, while ensuring AI is used responsibly and serves national needs. This collaboration helps improve services and supports inclusive economic growth.

Image

International Collaboration

Engaging with global and regional partners to position Mauritius as a trusted AI leader bridging Africa and Asia. Through strategic partnerships and the Mauritius AI Fellowship, the nation aims to share expertise, attract investment and co-create AI models specifically tailored for small island and developing economies.
