If you’ve never heard of Vertiv, you’ve still depended on them every single day without knowing it. That’s how critical infrastructure works; it only makes headlines when it fails. Morocco’s Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform has signed a memorandum of understanding with Vertiv, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure, providing power and…
Sixteen months ago, Cassava stood up and made a bold promise: Africa’s first AI factory, built on NVIDIA supercomputers, keeping AI training and data inside African borders. Big claim. The kind of announcement that either becomes a genuine turning point, or quietly disappears into the graveyard of tech press releases nobody follows up on. My…
There’s a specific kind of dread every network engineer knows: the moment a single point of failure in your architecture finally gets found, usually between 2 AM and 6 AM, during a client’s most critical workload. In designing network infrastructure, I’ve learned that redundancy isn’t a nice-to-have line item; it’s the whole point. Early in…
In the quiet village of Bessi in Batibo Subdivision, a stream that has flowed for generations is now doing something extraordinary: it is generating electricity. Behind this remarkable achievement is Atud Jonathan Asaah, a Cameroonian renewable energy specialist whose vision has transformed a simple mountain stream into a functioning micro-hydropower plant capable of supplying electricity…
Google announced its opening of Africa’s first Applied AI Lab in Accra, Ghana, giving selected startup founders access to Google’s AI models, technical mentorship, and the part that actually matters, venture capital partners who’ll write checks once the prototype works. I’ve built digital tools without any of that safety net. Site Scope IQ started as…
Ookla just ran the numbers on 86 mobile networks across 22 countries and found that even the mighty United States, with its shiny 5G towers and marketing decks full of “blazing speeds” is failing the one metric that actually matters for AI: the U.S. ranked dead last of all 22 markets studied in the share…
The DRC’s government has signed a $1.5 billion memorandum of understanding with China’s Genew Technologies to lay 1,700km of fibre-optic cable along the Congo River from Muanda to Kisangani, plus nearly 400km of terrestrial connections, totalling about 2,100km of infrastructure. Instead of fighting the DRC’s brutal terrain, the plan uses the river itself and its…
Let’s begin with an aside; you noticed your community doesn’t have provision stores, and there are a lot of inconveniences you’ve noticed because perhaps people have to cross seas to buy provisions. So you then decided to start one within the community, and to your greatest dismay, no one’s coming to buy. No one’s even…
When Nvidia came into Silicon, they were dedicated to producing just hardware, especially gaming video cards, semiconductors and chips. Slowly that dedication still lives, only that this time, Nvidia is no longer just the company that makes the chips powering AI it is now redesigning the entire electrical backbone of the data centers that house…
The future of artificial intelligence will not only be decided by who creates the smartest algorithms. It will also be determined by who controls the computing power required to train, deploy, and scale those AI systems. This reality became clearer as SpaceX entered a major computing agreement with open-source artificial intelligence company Reflection AI, providing…
