Bakary Marong: A Gambian driving innovation through Artificial Intelligence
Marong Analytica specialises in artificial intelligence, customer relationship management systems, business automation and digital solutions. The company works with organisations to improve customer engagement, automate communication, manage leads and increase efficiency. Its services include AI-powered customer support, WhatsApp automation, websites, CRM platforms, voice agents and business intelligence dashboards. Bakary's journey is built on both education and experience. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology and a Master of Science in Data Science from Reva University. He is also completing a Master of Science in Robotics at Heriot-Watt University Dubai. His work in robotics reflects his desire to solve real-life problems. He is currently developing a soft robotic gripper with tactile feedback that can safely handle delicate fruits such as strawberries without damaging them. The research has the potential to improve agricultural automation and make harvesting and sorting more efficient. Before founding Marong Analytica, Bakary worked as a Senior Networking Technician at Africell Gambia, where he gained valuable industry experience. He has also earned professional certifications in data analytics, cybersecurity, ethical hacking, networking, leadership and management, giving him a strong foundation across several areas of technology. Today, Marong Analytica serves businesses in real estate, hospitality, healthcare, education, logistics, retail and professional services. The company is helping organisations embrace modern technology so they can work smarter, respond faster to customers and remain competitive in an increasingly digital world. What makes Bakary's story even more inspiring is that he has not forgotten home. Although based in Dubai, he remains committed to supporting the digital transformation of businesses and public institutions in The Gambia and across Africa. His vision goes beyond building a successful company. He wants to contribute to the growth of artificial intelligence, robotics, digital infrastructure and agricultural technology across the continent. Bakary believes Africa should not simply use technology developed elsewhere. Instead, he believes Africans should create, develop and own solutions that address local challenges and improve lives. His journey is a reminder that Gambians can compete at the highest level when given the opportunity. Through knowledge, innovation and determination, Bakary Marong is flying the Gambian flag high while building technology that has the potential to make a lasting impact. As the world moves deeper into the age of artificial intelligence, young innovators like Bakary Marong are showing that The Gambia has the talent to be part of that future. His achievements stand as an inspiration to young Gambians who dream of making a difference through education, innovation and hard work.
