TTCL Expands Finland and Nokia ICT Cooperation Talks

In Short

TTCL says it is strengthening strategic cooperation in ICT with the Government of Finland and Nokia. The talks covered investment, technology, communications infrastructure, and possible joint projects.

What Happened

TTCL said it is continuing to strengthen a strategic partnership with the Government of Finland and technology company Nokia. TTCL said the goal is to attract investment, develop technology, and open new business opportunities in the ICT sector.

TTCL said this was discussed during a visit by a Finland government delegation led by Finland’s Ambassador to Tanzania, Anna Merrifield. The delegation was received in Dar es Salaam by TTCL Director General Moremi Marwa and TTCL’s management.

According to TTCL, the discussions aimed to expand areas of cooperation. These areas include investment, technology, development of communications infrastructure, and implementing joint projects intended to increase efficiency and access to better communications services.

TTCL also said it wants to use modern expertise and technologies to strengthen ICT infrastructure, reduce the digital divide, and support Tanzania’s move toward a digital economy. TTCL highlighted expanding “faiba mlangoni kwako” (fiber to your door) services so they reach more Tanzanians.

The announcement did not include any funding raised or secured.

Why It Matters

Telecom operators like TTCL play a direct role in how widely broadband infrastructure reaches homes and businesses. TTCL is positioning the Finland and Nokia cooperation around infrastructure upgrades and broader fiber access, which can affect service availability and quality for users across Tanzania.
