The second edition of Le Faso Digital, scheduled from October 17 to 24, 2026, has garnered support from Wave Burkina. This partnership aims to highlight solutions, businesses, and talents contributing to Burkina Faso's digital transformation. Le Faso Digital, initiated by Lefaso.net, focuses on promoting digital inclusion, sovereignty, and innovation.

Le Faso Digital 2026 will feature virtual stands, conferences, panels, masterclasses, and a national digital innovation contest. The event seeks to increase visibility for existing solutions and spark debate on creating accessible digital services. With Wave Burkina on board, discussions will center on financial inclusion, digital payment adoption, and cybersecurity.

Wave Burkina's involvement is significant, given the growth of digital financial services in Burkina Faso.
