Abstract
Tanzania has achieved impressive political, economic, and social progress in recent years. However, the country continues to face considerable development challenges, such as economic inequality, population growth, and corruption. At the same time, new opportunities, such as digital transformation, have the potential to drive necessary changes and reforms. This paper explores digital transformation in Tanzania, considering its geopolitical realities and the immense opportunities it creates. A combined survey data approach was used to gather comprehensive information. The findings reveal that digital transformation, in conjunction with Tanzania’s geopolitical realities, can generate significant opportunities for the country. Tanzania’s strategic location is a significant advantage for fostering digital transformation. The study recommends that the country capitalize on ongoing digital transformation initiatives and geopolitical factors to overcome economic stagnation.
