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.

Following the recent licensing of 43 Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Nigeria is poised for a transformative shift in its telecoms landscape. In a move designed to boost competition, extend mobile coverage, and increase consumer choice, Africa Hyperscalers – a digital infrastructure platform committed to advancing Africa’s compute ecosystem – will convene an exclusive breakfast session to examine the emerging MVNO market in Nigeria. Titled “MVNO Nigeria 2025: Unlocking Growth, Competition & Connectivity,” this high-level forum will bring together senior executives, mobile virtual network operators, regulators, investors, and policy stakeholders to explore the strategic and operational imperatives shaping Nigeria’s MVNO future.

The Vertiv AI Solutions Innovation Roadshow – Lagos Edition is a high-impact executive event designed to explore the evolving demands of AI-ready infrastructure in enterprise environments. As organizations across sectors face exponential data growth and distributed workloads, the need for robust, scalable, and energy-efficient infrastructure has never been more urgent. This roadshow brings together CIOs, IT leaders, and infrastructure experts from Nigeria’s most critical sectors – banking, oil & gas, telecoms, manufacturing, and more – to share insights, innovations, and strategies for building future-proof digital environments.

The theme “Building a Digital Africa: Connectivities, Collaborations, Convergence” underscores the essential pillars driving Africa’s digital transformation.
