Uganda is building Africa’s first artificial intelligence data centre to provide high-performance computing and local data storage for governments, universities, startups, and researchers. The facility will support AI training, machine learning, and big data while keeping sensitive data on the continent to improve speed and regulatory compliance. Located near the Karuma Hydropower Plant, the centre aims to expand skills, research, and regional access, and developers plan to begin operations later this year.
