Brazzaville Launch Showcases Congo’s .cg Platform
Under the impetus of its promoter, engineer-developer Roland Chrisbel Malonga, and with the support of the national team led by Sarah Christna Adoua, the digital platform O’Dellya Connect was officially launched on Thursday, 15 January 2026, in Brazzaville. The ceremony, hosted at the Hôtel Mickael’s, combined a formal presentation with conferences, panel discussions and a sustained exchange with the public, reflecting an ambition to anchor the project in both professional expertise and user expectations.
Positioned as a Congolese partner for individuals, internet users, companies and civil-society organisations, O’Dellya Connect places the national “.cg” extension at the centre of its service offer. According to its initiators, this orientation is intended to provide concrete support to online projects through tools associated with digital presence and operations, including email addresses, website hosting, social media support, visual identity services and collaborative work solutions.
Digitalisation Services for Public and Private Stakeholders
Carried by Roland Chrisbel Malonga, O’Dellya Connect presents itself as a digitalisation instrument designed to accompany individuals, enterprises and both public and private organisations. Its leadership emphasises the provision of “stable, high-performing and durable digital solutions” offered at accessible prices, a positioning that implicitly targets the practical constraints faced by many local actors seeking to professionalise their online footprint while controlling costs.
The platform’s sector-oriented logic, as presented during the event, suggests an approach aimed at tailoring services to different organisational needs. In this framing, digital tools are not treated merely as add-ons, but as levers for streamlining processes, strengthening online identity and developing more efficient professional networks.
“.cg” at the Heart of Congo’s Innovation Economy
The official theme of the meeting, “.cg at the heart of the Congolese innovation economy”, underscored the initiators’ stated intention to make national digital identity a foundation for structure, visibility and economic competitiveness. The message conveyed during the launch highlighted the notion that a country-code domain can serve not only as a technical identifier but also as a marker of trust and coherence within a broader digital ecosystem.
In her address, Sarah Christna Adoua stressed that digital technology is no longer an option but a strategic imperative. She linked this imperative to economic sovereignty, organisational efficiency and Congo’s integration into the global innovation economy, a perspective that aligns the platform’s objectives with wider debates on how states and societies position themselves in an increasingly digitised international environment.
Conference and Panel Debate on Digital Growth
Moderated by Roland Chrisbel Malonga, the inaugural conference set out the conceptual foundations of the project, insisting on the central role of the “.cg” domain name as a vector of trust, connection and the structuring of an economic ecosystem. In the narrative offered by the organisers, “.cg” is presented as a unifying reference point capable of helping Congolese actors consolidate their online legitimacy while improving the visibility of local initiatives.
The strategic panel that followed brought together experts and practitioners to discuss the challenges of digitalisation, startup growth, the modernisation of administrations and the strengthening of synergies between public and private stakeholders. The exchanges, as relayed during the event, placed emphasis on coordination and practical outcomes, in line with the platform’s operational promise of enabling smoother transitions towards digital tools and methods.
Demonstration Highlights Features and Use Cases
A key moment of the day was the official presentation of the platform, accompanied by a concrete demonstration of its functionalities, its vision and its use cases. This sequence sought to move beyond general principles by illustrating how O’Dellya Connect intends to support organisations in the management of their digital presence and day-to-day needs tied to online services.
The organisers’ emphasis on practical applications reinforced the idea of a platform designed to respond to local realities. The demonstration also served to clarify the initiative’s ambition to operate as an enabling infrastructure for diverse actors rather than as a niche product limited to a single professional community.
Public Expectations and a Roadmap for Congo’s Digital Future
Discussions with the audience revealed strong expectations among economic and institutional stakeholders for digital solutions adapted to the Congolese context. This feedback, gathered in an open setting, highlighted the demand for services that are both reliable and aligned with the operational constraints of local organisations, including questions of accessibility and the durability of support over time.
The day closed with the announcement of perspectives and a roadmap for the platform, reaffirming the ambition to make O’Dellya Connect a key partner in Congo’s digital transformation. Through this launch, the initiative expressed its intention to contribute actively to the emergence of a Congolese digital economy oriented towards the future, with the “.cg” extension presented as a central pillar of this trajectory.
