Africa’s first Partner Experience Centre powered by Google Cloud, was launched on Wednesday, in Johannesburg, South Africa, by Liquid C2, a business of Cassava Technologies.
It is a state-of-the-art facility designed to empower architects and engineers, with AI solutions tailored for the African market.
Through the Centre, partners will be onboarded to a structured journey that guides them in securing official Google Cloud accreditation and certification.
Technical training will be provided by both Liquid C2 and Google.
Once completed, these solutions will be brought to market through Liquid’s robust distribution network.
The Centre is expected to also provide direct access to enterprise-grade technologies such as Gemini Enterprise, and the “Gemini Playspace” for rapid AI experimentation.
It also provides specialist expertise to prototype, test, and scale digital solutions in real-world environments.
The facility also provides industry-specific platforms tailored to sectors including financial services, healthcare, and retail.
These platforms demonstrate how AI-enabled solutions can reduce operational risk, improve efficiency, enhance customer engagement, and unlock new growth opportunities across African markets.
Ziaad Suleman, Senior Vice President, Cassava Technologies and CEO, South Africa & Botswana, said “at Cassava Technologies, we believe the future of Africa’s digital transformation will be shaped through strong ecosystems that combine global innovation with local infrastructure and expertise. The Partner Experience Centre powered by Google Cloud creates a practical environment where organisations can explore, test, and scale solutions that deliver real business value. By combining our infrastructure, expertise, and continental reach with Google Cloud’s advanced technologies, we are helping to democratise access to AI and cloud capabilities for enterprises across Africa.”
