Africa Launches First AI Data Center
The facility, spearheaded by Synectics Technologies in partnership with Schneider Electric, Nvidia, and Turner & Townsend, is being developed in Uganda at a cost of UGX 4.56 trillion ($1.2 billion).
It will operate on 100 megawatts of renewable energy and feature a modular design that allows for future expansion.
According to Synectics Executive Vice Chairman and CEO Oladele Oyekunle, the three-year project will begin rollout by mid-2026 and is designed to serve as the backbone of Africa’s AI-driven research and innovation ecosystem.
The project aims to repatriate African data from foreign servers, strengthen data sovereignty, and position the continent as a global hub for digital innovation.
