National Regulators play a key role in creating enabling environments where innovation thrives and economic growth is possible. It is therefore essential that we at SPIDER support the strengthening of these institutions for citizens across Africa. By teaming up with Regulatory Authorities in Sweden and Luxembourg we deliver a peer-to-peer training project where we listen to one-another, support inclusive digitalisation and harmonise partnerships.\u00a0<div class=\"et_pb_module dsm_gradient_text dsm_gradient_text_0 et_animated  et_pb_text_align_center\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module_inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"dsm-gradient-text et_pb_module_header\">Africa phase will be in Zambia in March 2024<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>F.A.Q.
