WallisFutuna Technology Park: Pioneering the Digital Economy in the Pacific

Located approximately two-thirds of the way between Hawaii and New Zealand, Wallis and Futuna is strategically positioned, situated roughly 360 km (220 mi) west of Samoa and 480 km (300 mi) northeast of Fiji.

This French overseas territory encompasses several significant landmasses, including the most densely populated island of Uvéa (commonly known as Wallis), the island of Futuna, and the scarcely inhabited Alofi island, as well as a collection of 20 smaller islets along its periphery. In total, the territory spans an area of 274 square kilometers (106 sq mi) and boasts 129 kilometers (80 mi) of coastline.

Wallis is poised to serve as the home of the WallisFutuna Technology Park, an ideal location for the future epicenter of the Digital Economy in Wallis and Futuna. This strategic site capitalizes on the territory's rich cultural heritage, a highly skilled workforce, and a favorable business environment, creating the foundation for an innovative digital business ecosystem. The WallisFutuna Technology Park is poised to become the premier destination for business ventures, investments, and employment opportunities within the Pacific region.

The vision behind the WallisFutuna park is to foster active collaboration between the private and public sectors in Wallis and Futuna. The park is envisioned as a hub for various organizations, including leading players in the technology industry, educational institutions, government bodies, and support services. It is conceived as a complete ecosystem where individuals can comfortably live, work, and enjoy a fulfilling quality of life.

Driven by a commitment to innovation, the WallisFutuna IT Park has a clearly defined blueprint and vision. Its primary goal is to cultivate an economy of choice, offering opportunities for business development, investment, and employment. The park will serve as a platform for the development of digital business infrastructure, commercial and industrial expansion, and the establishment of international and national strategic partnerships, paving the way for joint projects and prospects in the Australasia and ASEAN regions.
