Why you should be investED

Global institutional capital, REITs, PE, VC and private capital are deploying massive AUM in Africa data centres.

Why sit in the room

Not a webinar series. Every cohort runs inside an operating facility, with the operators and the capital in the same room.

Taught inside the asset

You stand in the hall you are being asked to finance. Power trains, cooling, cross-connects, seen, not described on a slide.

Numbers, not narrative

Every session works from real invoices and real lease terms. Cost per megawatt, margin per rack, and what the downside case looks like.

The operators are in the room

Ask the data centre, the ISP and the neocloud directly. The cohort caps at 24 on-site so the questions stay specific.

Next cohort

Africa holds a fifth of the world's people and under two percent of its compute.

That gap is the trade. Three hours, one facility, and the numbers behind the asset class: cost per megawatt, lease structure, and the routes retail, chama and institutional capital can actually take.

Compare all three cohorts
