Social Net Link is a Dakar-based media organization covering the digital transformation of Senegal and francophone Africa. It reports daily on startups, telecoms, fintech, public policy and emerging technologies, publishing news, analysis, case studies and interviews with founders and policymakers. The outlet operates as both a newsroom and a content studio: under the Socialnetlink Studio banner, it produces video reports and branded storytelling for partners in the tech sector. Its editorial charter commits to independence, source protection and transparency, and its team publishes hundreds of articles each year to decode Africa’s innovation economy.
Beyond publishing, Social Net Link runs skills‑building programs. In 2022 it launched PROJACOM‑NUM, a free training series on digital careers aimed at students, journalists and young entrepreneurs, with modules ranging from web writing and audiovisual production to online reputation management. The organization also develops special projects including a mobile app, a print/digital magazine and a TV program focused on the local digital scene.
The platform serves entrepreneurs, investors, corporate innovators and public agencies seeking context on Senegal’s fast‑moving tech sector, while situating local stories within broader continental trends. Social Net Link is led by journalist and digital strategist Basile Niane, who has been active in the country’s technology community for more than a decade and, in 2025, was named to Senegal’s National Digital Council. The outlet’s mix of reporting and capacity building makes it a reference point for the region’s innovation ecosystem.
