Dahabshiil CEO Abdirashid Duale has urged the United States and United Kingdom to extend their recently signed Technology Prosperity Agreement to Africa, warning that the continent risks being marginalized in global innovation. He emphasized that while the pact is a breakthrough, its benefits should not remain confined to the transatlantic corridor.

• The UK–US agreement is valued at an estimated £150 billion and involves investments from Microsoft, Nvidia, Google, and CoreWeave in clean energy, artificial intelligence, and grid modernization.
• Abdirashid Duale, Chief Executive Officer of Dahabshiil, called for African entrepreneurs and innovators to be included in this global momentum, highlighting that Africa's talent needs to be part of the next wave of innovation.
• Microsoft alone pledged $30 billion, its largest commitment outside the US, as part of the deal.
