The Maldives appears to be taking major steps towards digitalisation and embracing the usage of artificial intelligence. On the 17th of May 2024, Ooredoo Maldives embarked on a significant digital transformation initiative by launching its first AI-powered digital services in Landhoo, establishing it as the first digital island in the Maldives. This groundbreaking project is a testament to Ooredoo's commitment to advancing digital inclusion and empowerment throughout the nation. The initiative, executed in collaboration with the Landhoo Council, aims to revolutionize the socio-economic landscape of the island community.
We are deeply honoured to select N. Landhoo as the inaugural island for the Ooredoo Digital Island program, impressed by their enthusiastic adoption of digital innovation aimed at enhancing the lives of its residents. The integration of m-Faisaa, our digital payment platform, into the daily lives of Landhoo residents last year marked a significant advancement in the local financial ecosystem. Notably, over 80 percent of transactions via Ooredoo happen digitally, showcasing the island's readiness to embrace digital solutions.
Under the Ooredoo Digital Island program, the company is leveraging strategic partnerships and cutting-edge digital solutions to drive growth and development in critical sectors such as healthcare, education, and commerce. By providing advanced digital infrastructure and AI-driven services, Ooredoo aims to improve access to essential services, enhance the quality of life for residents, and create new economic opportunities.
The project is part of Ooredoo's broader vision to transform the Maldives into a digitally empowered nation, where technology and innovation play a central role in everyday life. With this initiative, Ooredoo is not only setting a new standard for digital connectivity in the Maldives but also paving the way for other island communities to follow suit. The successful digitalization of Landhoo is expected to serve as a model for future projects, showcasing the potential for digital technology to drive sustainable development and socio-economic progress across the archipelago.
