Yas urges youths to embrace innovation

DAR ES SALAAM: YAS Tanzania has initiated a campaign to encourage Tanzanians especially the youth to take initiative, embrace innovation and utilise available digital tools to pursue their goals.

With over 34.5 per cent of the population aged between 15 and 35, according to the 2022 National Census, the campaign seeks to inspire young people who often feel held back by limited resources or opportunities.

Yas CEO, Pierre Canton-Bacara said the campaign ‘Anzia Ulipo’ urges individuals to start from where they are, with what they have, rather than waiting for ideal conditions.

“By highlighting reallife success stories and leveraging its strong 4G and 5G infrastructure, Yas aims to inspire action, promote digital inclusion and empower citizens to unlock their full potential and contribute to national progress,” he said yesterday.

He said over the past years, Yas has invested massively in building robust digital infrastructure including 4G and 5G network powering Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar.

This infrastructure is the backbone that supports education, healthcare, agriculture, e-commerce and entrepreneurship. It’s what allows a teacher in Mtwara to conduct online classes, a farmer in Mbeya to access realtime market prices and an entrepreneur in Arusha to serve customers around the world.

Unveiled in Dar es Salaam, he said the campaign underscores Yas’s commitment to empowering every Tanzanian to thrive in an increasingly digital world. It is about creating unlimited digital opportunities, fostering innovation and enabling dreams.
