Huawei Cloud intends to build a local platform that benefits South Africa and its enterprises.

The Chinese cloud vendor is opening its third datacentre on the continent.

Huawei Digital Power’s solutions aim to build a solid foundation for the digital world based on the 'green, simple, smart and reliable' concept, the company says.

The program's goal is to leverage digital technology to provide equitable and efficient services in support of the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Chinese cloud company has announced plans to expand data centre presence into East and West Africa, following its recent launch in Egypt.

This week, the government partnered with Huawei to train almost 200 of its officials in cloud computing security.

The telco is contemplating a substantial infrastructure investment, including 500 base stations, with 5G testing scheduled for 2026.

The truck will provide digital education and skills to over 5,500 students, women, the elderly, and youth across ten regions each year.

This effort is part of Kenya's overall goal to enhance the digital economy, with Huawei supporting in the development of policies and modern technologies.

The company believes African companies in a number of industries are eagerly adopting cloud and AI technology, but they are still experiencing difficulties in transitioning to and using these services.
