East, West & North Africa

9 September 2026

Africa’s digital infrastructure is progressing at different speeds across regions - shaped by policy, power availability, connectivity routes and investment readiness. These three regional workshops create space for market-specific, delivery-focused discussion, grounded in the realities of each region.

Each workshop runs as a separate, dedicated regional session, allowing participants to focus on the markets they operate in, while remaining part of the wider ITW & Datacloud Africa programme.
