Cassava Technologies, supported by Nvidia, intends to secure up to $700 million in funding to develop and enhance its network of data centres throughout Africa. These upgrades will incorporate AI chips, with the aim of reducing the cost of AI services for organisations, including non-profits, and making them accessible to a broader population.
This initiative seeks to provide essential AI resources to underserved communities, fostering innovation and development across various sectors. By increasing access to AI technology, Cassava aims to empower local businesses and contribute to economic growth.
The investment will enable Cassava to deploy advanced AI infrastructure, facilitating the development of AI-driven solutions tailored to the specific needs of the African market. This move could potentially transform industries such as healthcare, agriculture, and education, driving significant societal impact.
