Leaders emphasise the partnership's potential to boost Libya's digital transformation.

Improved connectivity is expected to significantly aid Libya's economic growth.

Sparkle, the global telecom services provider, and Al-Bawaba, a leading Internet Service Provider in Libya, have just deepened their ties with an expanded commercial partnership aiming to improve Libya’s international telecom connectivity. Under this new agreement, both companies will combine Al-Bawaba's strong Libyan presence with Sparkle’s widespread global network, giving businesses across Libya far better access to reliable connectivity solutions.

Focusing particularly on corporate clients, the partnership plans to offer advanced Ethernet MPLS services—essentially business-grade internet that allows efficient, secure communication. Companies in Libya will benefit from seamless end-to-end connectivity, supported by robust customer service and tailored, value-added offerings. Not a bad prospect at all for Libyan businesses looking to jumpstart their digital transformation.

Barbara Sole, Sparkle’s Head of Data Sales for Africa, emphasised how significant this step is for the Libyan market. “The partnership between Sparkle and Al-Bawaba marks a real turning point in the quality and range of telecom services available in Libya,” she explained. “With Al-Bawaba providing strong local expertise and Sparkle's globally extensive submarine cable infrastructure, we're set on delivering connectivity that genuinely boosts businesses across Libya. It’s exciting to think what these improvements could mean for growth and innovation.”

Echoing these sentiments, Mohammed Algharyani, Deputy Chairman at Al-Bawaba, stressed their shared commitment towards excellence. He remarked, “This collaboration with a globally respected company like Sparkle reaffirms our dedication to offering Libyan customers access to truly world-class telecom services. Together, we can offer connectivity solutions that are reliable, secure, and high-performing, precisely meeting today’s rapidly evolving telecom needs.”

It's fair to say this development is likely to give Libya’s digital infrastructure a considerable leg-up, connecting local companies more efficiently with global networks and helping drive the country's tech development forward. For Arageek readers following progress in Libya's digital landscape, it's certainly a partnership worth keeping an eye on.

Personally, it’s refreshing to see initiatives like this. Boosting connectivity might sound like typical industry jargon, but the impact on Libya’s economy and its abililty to participate in the wider digital economy could be huge—which, quite honestly, is worth getting excited about.
