African data centres have the strength of their weaknesses... Built in environments that are not always favourable, they transcend technologies and bring innovation to the way they operate and the way they are used. And if digital technology is an opportunity for Africa, then the data centre is the medium for all its projects, from telecoms to the cloud, from electronic payments to innovation.

The rise of computing power in the digital era is not only underpinning the future of our society, but has also become essential to our daily lives. And by 2030, we'll be well on our way to the Yottabyte (YB) ageAs an important carrier of computing power, data centers gather huge volumes of digital assets and are positioned as an integral part of the new digital infrastructure. Their strategic importance as the driving force of the digital economy cannot be overstated. With the increasing demand for high density and high computing power across multiple industries, it has never been more crucial to ensure the secure and reliable operation of data centers, the conference will be focused on how we can overcome these challenges by helping data center operators and service providers build reliable, green, simplified, and smart data centers.

The conference looks at some of the current challenges posed by environmental aspects and constraints on electricity networks. It highlights them in the light of the need to standardise and simplify the deployment of these infrastructures, which are following a trend towards ever higher power ratings. These elements are the variables in the equation that aims to ensure long-term sustainability and efficiency.

At a time when hyperscalers and cloud giants are invading the planet, Africa still offers many opportunities for data centre projects of all sizes. But we still need to meet the demands of a developing digital market. And we need to bring together the resources to ensure that data centres support the continent's digital transformation. How can we bring together the forces, the investment and the people who will make digital Africa a success through its data centres?
