Cassava Technologies

Through platforms like CAIMEx and Cassava Autonomous Networks, Cassava is helping lower barriers to AI adoption for developers, enterprises and governments alike. Learn how we’re helping Africa move from consumer to creator in the global AI landscape: cassavatechnologies.com/cassava-scales…

This marks an important step in strengthening local AI capabilities; enabling organisations to access high-performance compute, keep data within the continent, and build solutions tailored to local languages and contexts.

Africa isn’t just adopting AI - it’s building it. Cassava Technologies is scaling sovereign AI infrastructure with NVIDIA-powered AI Factories, starting in South Africa and expanding across the continent.

The momentum around Africa’s digital ecosystem is growing. Collaboration and partnerships will be key to what comes next. #MWC26 #AfricaTech #AI #DigitalInfrastructure #AfricaPavilion

And our Group Chief Marketing Officer Ifeoma Jibunoh brought this conversation to the stage on the Enterprise Swipe Right panel, exploring how organisations can harness emerging technologies to drive meaningful transformation.

Africa’s digital future was firmly on the agenda at this year’s Mobile World Congress. 👇

By combining AI agents that monitor, apply and validate network changes, we’re enabling intelligent closed-loop operations built for real-world complexity. A critical step toward self-optimising, self-healing networks across the African continent.

Autonomous networks are moving from vision to execution. NVIDIA's blog shows how agentic AI blueprints and telecom reasoning models are accelerating the shift from automation to true autonomy - where networks can interpret objectives and make informed decisions in real time 👇

Progress is built through opportunity, trust and shared ambition. Today, we celebrate the leaders helping define what’s next. #InternationalWomensDay #GiveToGain #WomenInTech #Leadership #AfricaTech

#IWD2026’s theme, Give to Gain, reminds us that when we invest in women’s leadership, we strengthen our organisation, accelerate innovation and multiply impact across the markets we serve.

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the women leading our technology journey.

Through initiatives such as Cassava’s AI Factory and sovereign cloud solutions, we’re working with global partners to help accelerate AI adoption while supporting innovation across the continent. #MWC26 #AI #Cloud #DigitalInfrastructure #AfricaTech

Simplifying complexity for customers while building the infrastructure enabling the next wave of digital innovation means expanding access to AI infrastructure, sovereign cloud and local data capacity - ensuring organisations can scale AI while maintaining control of their data.

Partnerships are reshaping how digital infrastructure is built and scaled. At MWC, our CMO Ifeoma Jibunoh joined industry leaders to discuss how telecom and technology ecosystems are evolving to deliver real business outcomes on the "Enterprise Swipe-Right" panel.
