Global infrastructure company Vertiv, in collaboration with Africa Hyperscalers and Turner & Townsend, is hosting the AI Solutions Innovation Roadshow in Lagos, Nigeria, to address the growing demand for artificial intelligence (AI)-ready infrastructure. As the adoption of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) accelerates across Africa, the event seeks to equip enterprises with the knowledge and tools necessary to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital environment.
The roadshow, which has made stops in major cities across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas, marks its African presence with a strong focus on infrastructure readiness. Lagos, a growing tech hub on the continent, serves as the ideal location to underscore Africa’s role in the global shift toward AI integration and enterprise transformation.
Industry leaders and technology experts participating in the event will discuss the critical infrastructure demands driven by AI adoption, including energy-efficient data centers, edge computing, and scalable systems. These conversations come at a pivotal time as African businesses seek to modernize operations and compete in the global digital economy.
The forum also draws attention to the broader economic opportunities that AI infrastructure presents for the continent. Improved infrastructure could attract further investment, foster innovation, and bridge the digital divide between Africa and more advanced markets, ultimately boosting productivity and connectivity.
With events like the Vertiv AI Solutions Innovation Roadshow, Africa is staking its claim in the AI revolution. By spotlighting the continent’s potential and preparing local industries for the infrastructure challenges ahead, the roadshow positions Africa as a key player in the global AI transformation.
