Transform Africa Summit
Powering Africa’s AI Ambitions with Next-Gen Infrastructure
AI cannot thrive in a vacuum. Its success depends on reliable digital infrastructure, scalable computing power, and secure connectivity—the very foundation of a future-ready Africa. At the heart of Smart Africa’s mission is a commitment to bridging infrastructure gaps, enabling affordable access, and fostering strategic investments to unlock the continent’s full digital potential.
The Connect Hub at TAS 2025 is where Africa’s AI ambitions meet the power of technology. This space is dedicated to deep, solutions-oriented conversations around the infrastructure needed to support and scale AI across the continent—from cloud and edge computing to energy-efficient data centers, AI-powered 5G networks, and next-gen user devices.
The Connect Hub is where the continent’s most ambitious digital architects gather to ensure Africa’s infrastructure is ready to support its rise as a global AI leader.
