Innovation, Infrastructure, & Investment for 2025

Over the past year, the scale of ambition in technology and infrastructure has skyrocketed globally, with investments growing from $10 billion compute clusters to trillion-dollar ecosystems. As AI spending accelerates, total AI-related investments are projected to exceed $1 trillion annually by 2027, driving massive demand for GPUs, data centers, and power infrastructure.

Behind the scenes, a fierce race is underway to secure the resources – power contracts, voltage transformers, and GPUs – needed to support this unprecedented industrial mobilization. Africa, despite its infrastructure challenges, is positioning itself as a critical player in this transformation through a data center and connectivity boom.
