Zimbabwe’s government announced plans to develop a national data center and industrial technology park to support digital transformation and artificial intelligence adoption. ICT Minister Tatenda Mavetera said the facility will include expanded power generation for energy-intensive computing and aligns with a national AI strategy due this month. The initiative, developed with Econet Wireless, also aims to lower business costs and strengthen Zimbabwe’s role in the regional digital economy.
