Digital infrastructure.Built for East Africa.
Secure, resilient foundations for cloud, connectivity and AI workloads — built in Uganda for the region's digital future.
Today: groundworks in progress in Uganda
Illustrative imagery — facility under development
Design priorities
AI-ready infrastructure
Designed from the outset for high-density, accelerated compute.
Resilience by design
Redundancy across power, cooling and network, engineered in from day one.
Open interconnection
Carrier-neutral by principle — open to every network and cloud.
Responsible energy strategy
Planned around Uganda's renewable power and efficient cooling.
Our solutions
The building blocks of a stronger digital tomorrow.
Flexible, secure and scalable services designed to help businesses, governments and innovators across East Africa grow and compete in a digital world.
Services are planned and will be offered as the facility reaches operational readiness. See development progress
Infrastructure
Infrastructure forwhat comes next.
We're building more than a data centre — we're building a foundation for innovation, opportunity and a digitally connected East Africa.

Infrastructure & engineering
Engineered to be depended on.
The principles guiding every engineering decision — from the first drawing to commissioning.
Power
A resilient supply strategy with backup and conditioning layers, so critical loads stay protected through grid events and maintenance.
Cooling
Designed for today's enterprise racks and tomorrow's high-density AI hardware, with efficiency treated as a design requirement.
Connectivity
Carrier-neutral, with diverse fibre entry paths so customers choose their networks and avoid single points of failure.
Redundancy
Redundant paths across power, cooling and network, so a single component failure doesn't become an outage.
Physical security
Layered from perimeter to rack — controlled access, continuous monitoring and audit trails, to international best practice.
Detailed specifications will be published as engineering design is finalised.
Our engineering approachDevelopment progress
From groundworks to operational readiness.
We report progress only when it's real. Here is where the project stands today, and what comes next.
Phase 01

Phase 05
Operational readiness
UpcomingTesting, commissioning and opening to the first customers.
Where we are today
Groundworks are underway on site in Uganda. Construction, systems integration and commissioning follow; dates will be announced as each milestone is confirmed. No services are operational yet.
Sustainability
Efficiency designed in, not claimed after.
East Africa's digital future shouldn't cost the Earth. Our energy, cooling and efficiency choices are made at the design stage — and will be measured once we're operational.
Strategy
Energy strategy
Uganda's electricity comes largely from hydropower. We plan to source power that makes the most of that renewable mix, and to plan for additional clean supply as the facility grows.
Approach
Cooling approach
Cooling chosen for Uganda's climate and for the heat of high-density hardware — favouring approaches that limit both energy and water consumption.
Goal
Efficiency goals
Efficiency measured, not asserted: targets set against recognised metrics such as power usage effectiveness (PUE) and water usage effectiveness (WUE), reported once operational.
