Africa Datacenters & Cloud Days (ADCD), a vibrant community dedicated to advancing Africa’s digital infrastructure, is set to host its flagship event in February 2025. This event will gather global innovators, thought leaders, and industry professionals from Africa, the Middle East, and beyond in the picturesque coastal city of Hammamet, Tunisia. The two-day conference aims to foster collaboration and inspire innovation in data centers, cloud hosting, and connectivity.

With the increasing demand for digital infrastructure across Africa, ADCD presents a unique opportunity for UAE-based stakeholders to engage with the continent’s burgeoning digital ecosystem, driving transformation and sustainable growth.

This flagship event will feature expert panels, insightful presentations, an enterprise fair, and exclusive networking opportunities designed to connect key players in both public and private sectors. According to industry reports, Africa’s data center market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12% from 2022 to 2027, showcasing the potential for UAE-based firms to capitalize on emerging opportunities. ADCD offers a direct pathway for businesses and innovators to engage in shaping Africa’s digital future, aligning with the UAE’s growing interests in green and scalable technology investments.

Zied Ouled Ali, founder of Africa Datacenters & Cloud Days (ADCD) and a leading figure in Africa’s digital infrastructure movement, emphasized the importance of collaboration between African nations and global players in addressing challenges related to cloud infrastructure and data centers. “ADCD is not just an event; it’s an initiative and an active community dedicated to building a stronger, more connected Africa. Together, we can create solutions that are sustainable, scalable, and transformative,” Zied stated.

As Africa continues to emerge as a key player in the global digital economy, events like ADCD are crucial for nurturing partnerships that will drive the continent’s technological advancement.
