Nairobi, November 3, 2025- Africa Data Centres (ADC) and Wingu Group have agreed to form a partnership that will create a unified pan-African digital infrastructure platform, combining their data centre footprints to enhance regional connectivity, cloud readiness, and hyperscale capacity across the continent.
According to the companies, the strategic collaboration will link Africa Data Centres’ facilities in major markets such as Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, and Egypt with Wingu’s data centres in Tanzania, Ethiopia, Djibouti, and Somaliland.
The partnership is designed to establish a cross-border platform that offers scalable colocation, cloud, and interconnection services tailored to the growing demand from hyperscalers, telcos, and AI infrastructure providers.
Hardy Pemhiwa, President and CEO of Cassava Technologies, the parent company of Africa Data Centres, said the initiative is part of a broader mission to “accelerate Africa’s digital transformation by creating a truly interconnected ecosystem that supports innovation, sustainability, and economic growth.” He added that by aligning with Wingu, ADC can “bridge underserved markets and deliver seamless regional integration from East to West Africa.”
Wingu Group CEO Anthony Voscarides called the partnership a “natural extension” of Wingu’s decade-long effort to develop reliable and sustainable data centre infrastructure in emerging African markets. “Our collaboration with Africa Data Centres enables us to interlink digital ecosystems that were once fragmented. Together, we can provide global players with the reach, redundancy, and performance they require while maintaining local data sovereignty,” he said.
The combined platform will reportedly focus on sustainability, emphasizing renewable energy integration and efficient cooling technologies to meet the rising power demands of AI and cloud operations. Both companies have previously announced renewable procurement initiatives, ADC through its parent Cassava’s green energy investments, and Wingu through local solar partnerships in Tanzania and Ethiopia.
Industry analysts view the alliance as a milestone in Africa’s digital infrastructure evolution, marking a shift from isolated national facilities toward regional interoperability. With growing hyperscale investments and increased AI workloads, pan-African platforms like the ADC Wingu partnership are expected to play a central role in expanding the continent’s capacity and competitiveness in the global data economy.
