Event date: May 5-6, 2025
Nairobi, Kenya
The emergence of hyperscalers has revolutionized the global data center market, with companies offering cloud-based services and solutions to millions of users worldwide, powered by robust infrastructure, low latency and scalability. In Africa, Kenya has made significant strides in cybersecurity with the establishment of its National Cybersecurity Strategy and is set to see ICT spending exceed $110 billion by 2027, with a growth rate of 10.8% annually in the past decade.
Kenya is emerging as a significant player in the African data center market, driven by government initiatives like the National Digital Masterplan and investments from companies like MTN and Africa Data Centres. This growth is fueled by the global digital transformation and increasing demand for data storage and processing. However, the industry faces challenges such as environmental impact and the digital divide.
