Cassava Technologies, a global technology leader of African heritage, has progressed with its landmark project to establish Africa’s first network GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) offering.
As the first NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) in Africa, these secure data centre facilities, located across South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, and Morocco, will mark the company’s long-standing leadership in providing world-class digital solutions on the continent.
“Cassava’s commitment to growing Africa’s AI ecosystem is not just about technology; it’s about empowerment,” said Mr Hardy Pemhiwa, president and group CEO of Cassava Technologies.
“Securing the position as the first preferred NVIDIA Cloud Partner in Africa enables us to play a crucial role in the continent’s AI ecosystem. At Cassava, we want to enable African businesses to emerge as leaders and innovators in AI, not just consumers.
“We want to empower Africa to write our own AI future, in our own languages, with our own data using local compute infrastructure.”
Deploying high-performance compute locally in Africa is a game-changer.
It enables entrepreneurs, governments and enterprises to develop and deploy AI solutions cost-effectively and with greater sovereignty.
With Cassava’s GPUaaS, the company is democratising access to cutting-edge AI computing capacity, empowering African businesses, governments, and researchers to develop innovative AI solutions, streamline operations and stay competitive in a fast-changing world.
By delivering world-class compute capacity to Africa, Cassava Technologies is positioning the continent not only as a participant, but as a creator in the global AI economy.
This aligns with the company’s purpose of enabling a digitally connected future that leaves no African behind.
