Event Overview: The Core of Africa's Digital Transformation

As Africa’s digital economy surges forward, so does the urgency for data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and local infrastructure resilience. Across sectors, national regulators are enforcing data domiciliation to protect sensitive information, improve cybersecurity, and drive sovereign infrastructure growth. But many enterprises still rely on offshore hosting, often at the expense of performance, compliance, trust and continental priorities.

Africa Data Sovereignty 2025 brings together the continent’s enterprise technology leaders, regulators, and innovators for a high-impact conversation on unlocking the business advantage of local data.

Event Objectives: What You Will Achieve?

    • Policy is Changing – Regulators across Africa are mandating in-country hosting. Are you complying? Are you at risk?
    • Performance is Critical – Local cloud delivers faster speeds, lower latency, and better reliability.
    • Trust is Tangible – Hosting locally builds customer confidence and operational resilience.
    • Local Cloud is Ready – Premier cloud solutions, zero downtime migration, now available
    • Regulatory – Operator Convergence – Improved understanding of the technical pathways and strategic rationale for migrating workloads to in-country infrastructure.
