Meaningful participation in the AI economy requires more than access. It requires infrastructure built in Africa, governed in Africa and designed for Africa.

[Cassava Technologies @CassavaTech]

Africa’s AI opportunity grows stronger when intelligence is built closer to home.

Speaking at @AI_EverythingKE, Adil El Youssefi detailed the infrastructure required to support AI orchestration at scale - from energy and connectivity to compute and interoperability.

[Cassava Technologies @CassavaTech]

Through our Product Areas, we are helping build the foundations for sovereign AI infrastructure; from carrier-neutral data centres and connectivity to AI factories designed to bring compute closer to the continent.

[Cassava Technologies @CassavaTech]

Meaningful participation in the AI era requires more than access. It requires the platforms, ecosystems and digital foundations that allow the next generation to build, innovate and compete on equal terms.The future will be shaped by those who build it.

[Cassava Technologies @CassavaTech]

Africa’s greatest competitive advantage may be the generation coming next.

At the @oxfordafrica Conference, Ahmed El Beheiry joined discussions on leadership, AI and the infrastructure shaping Africa’s future and shared a broader perspective: talent alone is not enough.

[Cassava Technologies @CassavaTech]

At Cassava Technologies, we believe infrastructure is part of the answer. Over the past two decades, we’ve helped lay the foundations through fibre, data centres, cloud and now AI infrastructure designed to bring compute closer to the continent.

[Cassava Technologies @CassavaTech]

Because participation in the AI economy requires more than ambition. It requires compute, connectivity and infrastructure built on the continent and designed for the continent.

The opportunity is here. The question is how quickly Africa can scale.

[Cassava Technologies @CassavaTech]

Africa has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help shape the global AI economy.

Speaking at @africaceoforum, our President and Group CEO Hardy Pemhiwa explored the question: how do we accelerate digital infrastructure at the speed and scale the AI era demands?

[Cassava Technologies @CassavaTech]

Today, the tech is proven and the demand is clear. The next chapter is about scale: creating financing models and investment ecosystems that enable digital infrastructure to grow faster and at the level the AI era requires.

[Africa CEO Forum @africaceoforum]

🌍 25 years ago, 70% of Africans had never heard a phone ring.

📆 Today, in some African cities, mobile penetration is sitting at 1.5 SIM cards per person. From the main stage of the Africa CEO Forum Annual Summit in Kigali, @HardyPemhiwa, President and Group CEO of @CassavaTech, used that contrast to frame three decades of African digital infrastructure history.

🛰️ The numbers behind Cassava speak for themselves. 116,000 kilometres of fibre running from Cape Town to Cairo. An interconnected data centre network across most African capitals, with edge facilities now being deployed in secondary cities. Captive renewable energy plants powering enterprise customers. And, most recently, the continent's first NVIDIA-powered AI factory launched last month in South Africa, with sites in Cairo, Nairobi and two further African locations now in advanced planning.

⚡ Pemhiwa called it the plumbing that carries the data, the plumbing that enabled Africa's telecoms revolution and that will now have to enable its AI one. Coverage is largely won. The next battle is meaningful access.

🇷🇼 Kigali is putting a clear question on the table this week. Will Africa be a producer of AI infrastructure, or only a consumer of it? Cassava's answer is being deployed at scale.

[Cassava Technologies @CassavaTech]

As AI reshapes the global economy, the question is no longer whether Africa participates. It is how Africa participates on its' own terms.

Thank you to the Africa CEO Forum and congratulations to all of this year’s winners helping shape Africa’s next chapter.

[Cassava Technologies @CassavaTech]

Africa’s digital future will be shaped by those who build its foundations.

That is why we are honoured to be named Pan-African Champion 2026 at the @africaceoforum Awards.

[Cassava Technologies @CassavaTech]

Over the past two decades, we have worked to build the digital backbone powering the continent - from Africa’s largest independent fibre network to data centres, cloud, cyber security and AI infrastructure designed for the next era of growth.

[Africa CEO Forum @africaceoforum]

🏆 The ACF Awards 2026 winners are in.

Six honours, six trajectories, one shared conviction: that Africa's economic future will be built by Africans, on African terms, at pan-African scale.

💼 Gender Leader recognises @GroupEcobank, the pan-African banking group whose Ellevate programme and pioneering West African gender bond have shifted women's economic empowerment from policy to balance sheet across 33 markets.

🌐 Pan-African Champion goes to @CassavaTech, Strive Masiyiwa's group, whose 720 million dollar AI factory roll-out across five African capitals is anchoring the continent in the global computing race.
