Somalia is a young nation more than 70% of the population is under 30. This means our greatest resource is people, not oil or gold. And in today’s world, knowledge and technology are more powerful than any natural resource.
The Opportunity
From coding to digital marketing, renewable energy to AI, Somali youth have the chance to lead Africa’s next tech revolution. The tools are already in our hands — laptops, smartphones, and global access to online learning.
Start Small, Dream Big
You don’t need a big company to begin. Many successful startups began from small rooms or university labs. Learn programming, design, or business. Build your first website, app, or data project. Every step matters.
Collaboration Over Competition
Instead of competing, young Somali developers should collaborate — share knowledge, form teams, and create tech communities. When one succeeds, others get inspired.
Final Thought
Somali youth can do more than use technology — they can create it.
Every new app, every website, and every innovation adds another light to Somalia’s growing digital map
