Meeting Libya’s critical tech needs
In a country where only a quarter of citizens have reliable internet access and power outages occur daily, Libyan Elite Company for Technical Solutions has carved out a vital role developing practical, durable technology solutions. The firm focuses on three key areas where Libya’s digital transformation faces its steepest challenges: enterprise software adapted for Arabic business environments, cybersecurity systems protecting against regional threat patterns, and hybrid cloud infrastructure designed to function through power interruptions. Their banking solutions now process transactions for 14 Libyan financial institutions, while their healthcare management systems serve 22 public hospitals across three provinces.
What sets Libyan Elite apart is their ground-up approach to Libya’s dual infrastructure and skills shortage. The company operates a tech academy that has trained 127 local engineers in the past two years, with 90% retention rate. “We don’t just import solutions – we build systems that work under Libyan conditions, with Libyan talent,” says CEO Faraj Benyoub. This philosophy extends to their solar-powered network towers that maintain connectivity during outages, and their Arabic-language business software that eliminates the productivity losses from English-dominated enterprise systems.

Positioning for regional growth
As Libya’s tech sector begins its recovery after years of conflict, Libyan Elite is emerging as a potential regional player. Their recent $2.1 million contract to digitize municipal services in Misrata represents the largest local tech deal in five years. The company has developed specialized expertise in creating systems that function with intermittent connectivity – knowledge increasingly valuable across North Africa’s developing digital economies.
With 85% of their solutions developed in-house (compared to 30% for multinational competitors operating in Libya), the company offers response times 60% faster than international providers. This advantage has helped them secure contracts with 11 government ministries and 37 mid-sized Libyan businesses. Looking ahead, the firm plans to adapt their resilient infrastructure models for markets in Tunisia and Egypt, where similar infrastructure challenges persist. Their upcoming logistics management platform, designed specifically for North African supply chain complexities, could position Libyan Elite as a rare tech exporter from a country better known for importing solutions.
