North Africa Afternoon: Connecting Africa to Europe, the Middle East and Global Digital Routes
North Africa plays a unique role in the global digital infrastructure landscape.
Positioned at the intersection of Africa, Europe and the Middle East, the region is emerging as a critical corridor for subsea cables, terrestrial fibre routes and new data centre hubs serving regional and international demand. As hyperscalers expand, new subsea systems land across the Mediterranean, and governments invest in digital sovereignty and local compute capacity, North African markets are becoming increasingly important in shaping Africa’s connectivity and cloud ecosystems.
This dedicated session will explore how North African stakeholders can deepen collaboration with Sub-Saharan markets and international partners to unlock the next phase of infrastructure growth.
