At the EASA gala, held in Mogadishu last week, industry leaders, government officials, and business executives gathered to honor outstanding Somali and East African companies demonstrating exceptional service, innovation, and social impact. Bluecom stood out among its competitors for its robust network infrastructure, customer-focused solutions, and consistent efforts to expand internet access to underserved areas.
“This award is a testament to our team’s dedication and our mission to connect Somalia to the world,” said Mohamed Ali, CEO of Bluecom Somalia. “Over the past year, we have invested heavily in expanding our network, improving service quality, and introducing innovative packages to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Being recognized by EASA encourages us to continue raising the bar for internet service in Somalia.”
Bluecom’s recent initiatives include the launch of high-speed fiber-optic connections in major urban centers, mobile internet solutions for rural communities, and tailored packages for businesses that rely on stable, high-capacity connections. The company has also invested in customer support and digital literacy programs, helping users maximize the potential of internet technology in education, commerce, and communication.
Industry analysts say that Bluecom’s rise reflects a broader trend in Somalia, where demand for reliable internet has grown significantly due to the expansion of e-commerce, remote work, and online education. By focusing on quality service and accessibility, Bluecom has set itself apart in a competitive market, earning the trust of both individual and corporate customers.
EASA organizers praised Bluecom for its impact on the Somali digital economy, noting that the company has played a critical role in fostering connectivity that supports innovation, entrepreneurship, and social development. “Bluecom is not just providing internet services; it is enabling opportunities for learning, business growth, and social inclusion,” said the EASA Awards committee in a statement.
The East Africa Somali Awards have grown into one of the region’s most respected recognitions of Somali excellence, spanning sectors from technology and finance to education and healthcare. By winning this award, Bluecom Somalia joins a growing list of companies that are shaping the country’s economic future through innovation and service excellence.
As Somalia continues to embrace digital transformation, Bluecom’s recognition at EASA 2024 signals the increasing importance of connectivity in driving national development. With this achievement, the company reaffirms its commitment to providing reliable, affordable, and high-speed internet to communities across Somalia, ensuring that the country remains connected and competitive in an increasingly digital world.
