Africa Data Centres, the continent’s largest network of interconnected data facilities, has announced a new strategic partnership with Wingu Africa, East Africa’s leading carrier-neutral data centre operator, to create a unified digital infrastructure platform spanning key African markets.
The collaboration links Wingu Africa’s hubs in Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Tanzania with Africa Data Centres’ extensive footprint across South, West, and Central Africa, forming a seamless network that will make it easier for enterprises and service providers to scale operations across the continent.
According to both companies, the partnership allows customers to expand securely, reliably, and efficiently across multiple markets without the complexity of managing several providers. It also strengthens Africa Data Centres’ position in East Africa while giving Wingu Africa a gateway into seven additional markets, transforming it from a regional to a continental player.
“By connecting our infrastructure with Africa Data Centres’ network, we enable enterprises to operate across borders with the reliability and resilience they expect,” said Demos Kyriacou, Deputy CEO and Co-Founder of Wingu Africa. “It’s about making Africa’s digital economy easier to access, more predictable, and globally competitive.”
The deal also provides Africa Data Centres’ customers direct access to Djibouti’s submarine cable gateway, Ethiopia’s expanding digital economy, and Tanzania’s fast-growing cloud and mobile services sector. Together, the companies aim to strengthen Africa’s role in the global digital economy and support governments in achieving their digital transformation goals.
“Africa’s digital transformation depends on collaboration and scale,” added Adil El Youssefi, CEO of Africa Data Centres. “Partnering with Wingu Africa gives our customers a stronger gateway into East Africa, while Wingu’s clients benefit from our wider continental reach. Together, we’re building an interconnected platform that supports innovation and inclusive growth.”
The partnership aligns with the African Union’s Digital Transformation Strategy (2020–2030), which calls for inclusive, secure, and scalable digital infrastructure as the foundation for long-term economic growth.
