Wingu Africa has entered a strategic partnership with Africa Data Centres, creating an extensive cross-regional data-center interconnection arrangement.
The deal links Wingu Africa’s Tier III facilities in Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Tanzania with Africa Data Centres’ footprint across South, West, and Central Africa. The companies said the arrangement will allow enterprises, cloud providers, and content-delivery networks to expand more easily across borders by accessing a unified pool of secure and reliable infrastructure.
For Wingu Africa, the agreement shifts the company from a largely East African operator to a player with continent-wide reach. Its customers gain access to ADC sites in seven additional markets without managing multiple providers. Africa Data Centres, in turn, strengthens its position in East Africa and gains entry into three strategic markets, including Djibouti, a landing point for major submarine cables.
“This partnership marks an important milestone for Wingu Africa and East Africa’s digital ecosystem,” said Demos Kyriacou, Deputy CEO and co-founder of Wingu Africa. “By connecting our infrastructure with Africa Data Centres’ network, we’re enabling enterprises to operate across borders with the reliability and resilience they expect.”
ADC said its clients will gain new routes into Ethiopia’s expanding digital economy and Tanzania’s growing cloud and mobile-services sector. “Africa’s digital transformation depends on collaboration and scale,” said Adil El Youssefi, CEO of Africa Data Centres. “Together, we are building an interconnected platform that supports innovation, investment, and inclusive growth.”
The companies said the partnership aligns with the African Union’s Digital Transformation Strategy, which urges the development of secure, scalable digital infrastructure as a foundation for economic growth. Industry analysts say cooperation among infrastructure operators is becoming increasingly important as Africa’s digital economy expands. No single provider can meet the continent’s rising demand for cloud services, low-latency connectivity, and resilient data-center capacity. Cross-operator partnerships – once rare in a competitive market – are now viewed as essential to improving network resilience, reducing duplication of infrastructure, and accelerating the rollout of services across fragmented regulatory environments.
