AI Refinery<\/a>\u2122 platform and other technologies to design and deliver sovereign AI solutions utilising Cassava\u2019s GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS), housed in Cassava\u2019s secure data centre facilities, accelerated with NVIDIA AI infrastructure. The solutions will enable Cassava\u2019s existing and potential customers to process AI workloads and data within national borders in alignment with local requirements and regulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCassava will begin in South Africa and later expand into Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, and Nigeria. This phased rollout is in line with Cassava\u2019s expansions planned at its other data centre facilities across Africa. Cassava will leverage the company\u2019s pan-African high-speed, ultra-low-latency, fibre broadband network, which interconnects the company\u2019s energy-efficient data centres to power AI computing workloads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAI is opening up exciting new opportunities for sparking innovation, advancing competitiveness and driving growth across Africa,\u201d said Mauro Macchi, CEO of Accenture for Europe, Middle East and Africa<\/strong>. \u201cWith our deep, global experience in sovereign cloud and AI, Accenture will help Cassava deliver secure, scalable sovereign AI solutions and reimagine its operations. Together, we will enable organizations across the African continent to adopt AI with confidence and unlock new ways to create value.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cWith our GPUaaS, Cassava will drive the continent\u2019s AI revolution by allowing businesses to access compute power based on their individual needs. This is our commitment to ensuring Africa has the infrastructure and access it needs to compete in the AI era – AI isn\u2019t just a technology story; it\u2019s a nation-building story with inclusion at its centre,\u201d said Ahmed El Beheiry, CEO of Cassava AI<\/strong>. \u201cCollaborating with Accenture allows us to leverage their global expertise in building a sovereign AI cloud capability designed for the African market. This partnership will strengthen data governance, drive practical AI adoption across key industries, and ensure that we provide African solutions for African challenges.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\nThrough this collaboration, the two companies will integrate the context, languages, and cultural nuances of the region into these AI solutions, ensuring that the solutions\/services are relevant and impactful for African enterprises across key sectors such as financial services, mining, telecommunications, agriculture, and healthcare. This localised approach will not only strengthen compliance and trust but also ensure that the technology reflects the realities of the markets it serves, enabling businesses to innovate in ways that are meaningful and sustainable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cassava will invest in the infrastructure and platform build-out to ensure readiness for commercialisation, with a focus on scalability, security, and compliance, thereby reinforcing its broader commitment to responsible AI adoption, innovation and productivity growth in Africa. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
