Sovereign Compute
Africa's first AI factory is being built in Johannesburg.
The intelligence layer of the next economy will not be rented. It is being built on the continent that will use it.
When a Lagos founder trains a model, the GPUs no longer sit an ocean away. In March 2025 Cassava began deploying 3,000 Nvidia GPUs in South Africa, Africa's first AI factory, scaling to 12,000 across Egypt, Kenya, Morocco and Nigeria. Sovereign compute is the decision that puts the intelligence layer of the next economy on the continent that will run it.
