Cassava Technologies, the company building Africa’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) facility, has reported significant progress with its landmark project to establish the continent’s first network GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) offering.
Data centres for the first preferred NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) in Africa, are located in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, and Morocco.
Speaking about progress, Hardy Pemhiwa, President and Group CEO of Cassava Technologies, said “Cassava’s commitment to growing Africa’s AI ecosystem is not just about technology; it’s about empowerment. 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 is expected to enable entrepreneurs, governments, and enterprises to develop and deploy cost-effective Al solutions.
