Wingu Africa, a leading provider of carrier-neutral, Tier III-standard data centres in East Africa, has announced a strategic partnership with Africa Data Centres (www.AfricaDataCentres.com), the operator of the continent’s largest interconnected network of facilities. This partnership marks a major step forward for East Africa data center networking and aims to create a seamless digital ecosystem across the region and beyond.
Expanding Africa’s Digital Connectivity
The collaboration connects Wingu Africa’s infrastructure in Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Tanzania with Africa Data Centres’ extensive footprint across South, West, and Central Africa. Together, the two organizations are creating a unified digital platform that enhances network development strategy for enterprises and service providers, allowing them to scale efficiently and securely across multiple African markets.
“This partnership marks an important milestone for Wingu Africa and East Africa’s digital ecosystem,” said Demos Kyriacou, Deputy CEO, COO, and Co-Founder of Wingu Africa. “By integrating our infrastructure with Africa Data Centres’ network, we make Africa’s digital economy more accessible, predictable, and globally competitive.”
Strengthening Collaboration Across East Africa
For Wingu Africa, this collaboration transforms it from a regional leader into a continental player by linking its hubs with Africa Data Centres’ operations in seven additional markets. It provides customers with simplified access to new territories while eliminating the need for multiple service providers. Meanwhile, Africa Data Centres gains a stronger foothold in East Africa, advancing collaboration with East Africa to boost connectivity and innovation.
Adil El Youssefi, CEO of Africa Data Centres, emphasized, “Africa’s digital transformation relies on collaboration and scale. Our partnership with Wingu Africa extends our reach into rapidly growing East African markets, while offering Wingu Africa’s clients access to our vast pan-African platform. Together, we’re enabling innovation, investment, and inclusive growth.”
Enhancing Africa’s Digital Infrastructure
Through this East Africa data center networking initiative, customers gain access to strategic markets such as Djibouti—a key submarine cable hub—Ethiopia’s expanding digital economy, and Tanzania’s booming cloud and mobile service sector. This unified platform enhances Africa’s value proposition for cloud providers, content delivery networks, and enterprises seeking seamless regional expansion.
The partnership also supports national digital transformation goals, cloud adoption, and fintech innovation, aligning with the African Union’s Digital Transformation Strategy (2020–2030). Both companies are committed to advancing Africa’s integration into the global digital economy by building secure, scalable, and inclusive infrastructure.
A Vision for Connected Growth
As part of Cassava Technologies, Africa Data Centres continues to play a pivotal role in connecting Africa’s markets and supporting sustainable network development strategy. Wingu Africa, established in 2012, remains East Africa’s first carrier-neutral data center operator, known for its world-class infrastructure, security, and connectivity solutions.
