At the 2nd Edition of the Global Business Services (GBS) Sector Policy Roundtable, @RwandaICT Minister of State @yves_Iradukunda joined Kimon Haars, Founder and Managing Director of The GYM, and @RwandaGBSGrowth CEO @kachanty for a fireside discussion.

The conversation examined Rwanda's progress towards securing European Union (EU) recognition of its data protection framework through General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) adequacy, and the importance of trusted data governance in enabling cross-border digital services, investor confidence, and the growth of high-value Global Business Services.

Today, RDB Deputy CEO @JulianaMuganza participated in the 2nd Edition of the @RwandaGBSGrowth Sector Policy Roundtable, which brought together government, industry, and development partners to discuss the growth and competitiveness of Rwanda’s Global Business Services (GBS) sector.

“GBS is not a niche opportunity – it sits at the heart of where Rwanda is heading. As we work to establish Rwanda as a regional hub for services, technology, finance, and innovation, knowledge-intensive industries represent one of our clearest pathways to quality jobs, export earnings, and the kind of economy our young people can genuinely thrive in.”

The discussion focused on positioning Rwanda as a leading destination for high-value digital services, including AI, cybersecurity, data analytics, and advanced business operations.
