Local Roots, Glocal Vision

With a strong operational hub in Morocco, we design and manage projects across the continent. Today, 25% of our revenue is generated in Africa, a clear sign of our commitment and local integration.
A “Spotify for Reading” Made Accessible to All
Thanks to this partnership, YouScribe becomes a true reading-as-a-service platform tailored to African realities. Digital distribution overcomes traditional logistical constraints, making books accessible even in remote areas. A premium content model, powered by data and delivered through a network of over 150 telecom operators worldwide.
A Financial Inclusion Driver
In markets where a large portion of the population remains unbanked, carrier billing offers a powerful alternative to expand access to premium services. This model is particularly relevant in Africa, where mobile phones are central to everyday life.
What’s Next?
Artificial intelligence is already reshaping the publishing industry, from rapid translation to audio conversion in local languages, opening up new opportunities for inclusion and personalization across diverse communities.
This partnership was spotlighted during our third participation at Gitex Africa, showcasing our shared ambition: using technology and content to create meaningful educational and cultural impact across the continent.
