The discussion focused on GS1 Standards and their Opportunities for Mauritius, where senior leaders from key ministries met with global GS1 experts to explore how internationally recognised GS1 standards can strengthen national interoperability, enhance public-sector efficiency and improve supply-chain transparency.

We were honoured to have as speakers:

Mr Renaud de Barbuat – President & CEO, GS1 Global
Ms Nora Kaci – Public Policy Europe Senior Manager
Ms Zinhle Tyikwe – CEO, GS1 South Africa
Dr Drishtysingh Ramdenee – CEO, GS1 Mauritius

The dialogue highlighted how Mauritius can strengthen trade, enhance customs efficiency, support safer healthcare and improve product authenticity checks by adopting globally recognised standards used worldwide.

As Mauritius continues advancing key technological initiatives powered by GS1 standards, the strong participation of public authorities reflects a shared commitment to compliance, innovation and national standardisation. This forward-looking engagement reinforces the country’s path toward a digitally connected, resilient and future-ready Mauritius.
