Cassava Technologies says it will be empowering customers to adopt and use Generative AI services from the world’s leading vendors.
This comes as the company has trained and deployed over 200 employees from its staff of 5 000, and after announcing that its artificial intelligence (AI) operations will now function as a standalone business unit called Cassava AI.
Since the emergence of Generative AI, Cassava Technologies (CT) has established strategic partnerships with major industry players, including Microsoft, Google, AWS, Anthropic, and Oracle among others.
“These partnerships enable it to offer superior systems integration and support to enterprise customers across strategic international markets,” according to the company in a press statement.
Cassava, headquartered in the UK, was founded by African Entrepreneur Strive Masiyiwa and includes many leading global institutional investors.
CT is a prominent technology provider that offers a comprehensive, vertically integrated ecosystem of digital services and infrastructure, positioning it as a leader in enabling digital transformation.
According to the press statement, Cassava operates across several key growth markets, including Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the United States, through various business units which include Liquid Intelligent Technologies Liquid C2 Africa Data Centres, Distributed Power Africa and Sasai Fintech.
“The company provides its customers in 94 countries with offerings that will help them grow, transform, and expand their operations.”
Hardy Pemhiwa, President and Group CEO, said, “Cassava AI is headquartered in London and can already provide services in any of the 40-plus markets in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, where the Cassava Technologies group companies operate. Ahmed El Beheiry, a veteran technology and telecoms executive, will lead this business unit.”
