Cassava Technologies, a leading player in the industry, has taken a significant step forward by establishing a dedicated business unit focused on artificial intelligence (AI). This move reflects the company's commitment to harnessing the power of cutting-edge technologies to drive digital transformation for its clients across Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.
Cassava Technologies, founded by African entrepreneur Strive Masiyiwa, has already built a strong reputation for providing a wide range of digital services, including data centers, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and renewable energy solutions. Now, with the creation of the Cassava AI business unit, the company is poised to take its offerings to new heights.
The new AI-focused division will be led by Ahmed El Beheiry, a seasoned veteran in the technology and telecommunications industry. El Beheiry's expertise will be instrumental in guiding Cassava's customers through the integration of AI-powered solutions, enabling them to unlock new levels of efficiency, productivity, and innovation.
"Cassava AI is headquartered in London and can already provide services in any of the 40-plus markets in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America where the Cassava Technologies group companies operate," said Hardy Pemhiwa, President and Group CEO of Cassava Technologies.
One of the key features of Cassava AI is its strategic partnerships with industry giants such as Microsoft, Google, AWS, Anthropic, Oracle, Atlas AI, Cerebras, and Palo Alto Networks. These collaborations have allowed Cassava to offer superior systems integration and support to its enterprise customers across various international markets.
Through its diverse business units, including Liquid Intelligent Technologies, Liquid C2, Africa Data Centres, Distributed Power Africa, and Sasai Fintech, Cassava has established a strong foothold in high-growth regions. The addition of the Cassava AI division will further strengthen the company's ability to drive digital transformation and provide innovative solutions to its customers.
"Cassava provides its customers in 94 countries with offerings that will help them grow, transform, and expand their operations," the company stated, underscoring its commitment to empowering businesses across the globe.
