Unlocking new opportunities for collaboration within Africa and with the rest of the world in the hosting and cloud sectors
Africa Datacenters & Cloud Days (ADCD), an active community dedicated to the growth of Africa's digital infrastructure, is all set to host its flagship event in February 2025, bringing together global innovators, thought leaders, and industry professionals from Africa, Middle East and beyond. The two-day event, which will take place in the beautiful coastal city Hammamet, Tunisia, aims at nurturing collaboration and inspiring innovation in data centers, cloud hosting, and connectivity. With the rising demand for digital infrastructure in Africa, ADCD presents a golden opportunity for African stakeholders to engage with each other, driving transformation and sustainable growth in the continent.
ADCD's flagship event will feature expert panels, insightful presentations, an enterprise fair, and exclusive networking opportunities designed to connect key players in public and private sectors. According to reports, Africa's data center market will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12% from 2022 to 2027 [1]. For professionals from anywhere, ADCD represents an unparalleled chance to be at the forefront of Africa's digital journey while forging strategic partnerships that will shape the continent's tech future.
Zied Ouled Ali, founder of Africa Datacenters & Cloud Days (ADCD) and a prominent figure in Africa's digital infrastructure movement, believes that the collaboration between African nations and global players will be pivotal in addressing challenges around cloud infrastructure and data centers. "ADCD is not just an event; it's an initiative and an active community behind it towards a stronger, more connected Africa. Together, we can create solutions that are sustainable, scalable, and transformative," said Zied.
Key initiatives have taken place recently such as the new green- powered mega data center opened in Kenya, the new Cloud Region in South Africa, and 1,500-rack Tier IV data center in Lagos, which would make it West Africa's largest data center; to name a few.
