Securing the continent’s digital sovereignty as the first preferred NVIDIA Cloud Partner.
Cassava Technologies is accelerating the continent’s Artificial Intelligence ambitions with the successful rollout of its landmark GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) offering. This initiative firmly establishes Africa’s first network GPUaaS, reinforcing Cassava’s long-standing leadership in providing world-class digital solutions.
The company has secured the distinction of being the first preferred NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) in Africa. This strategic alliance allows Cassava to democratize access to cutting-edge, high-performance computing capacity via secure data centre facilities strategically located across South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, and Morocco. This pan-African deployment is a true game-changer.
Hardy Pemhiwa, President & Group CEO of Cassava Technologies, emphasized the broader mission behind the technology, stating;
“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.”
Cassava is directly addressing the continent’s critical compute gap. This enables entrepreneurs, governments, and enterprises to develop and deploy sophisticated AI solutions cost-effectively and with greater data sovereignty. The GPUaaS platform empowers African businesses, governments, and researchers with the capacity needed to innovate, streamline operations, and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving global economy. Through this initiative, Cassava Technologies is decisively positioning Africa not merely as a participant, but as a creator in the global AI economy, fulfilling its purpose of enabling a digitally connected future that leaves no African behind.
