Africa’s pragmatic approach to AI and how data centres are enabling it

To meet the relentless demands of AI workloads at the edge, prefabricated data centre solutions offer a scalable, efficient, and fast alternative to traditional builds.

The top three winning teams will get €10,000 in seed funding: €6,000 for first place, €2,500 for second place, and €1500 for third place.

For today's high-density loads, liquid cooling alternatives such as chip cooling, back door cooling, and immersion cooling are more effective and sustainable.

By committing to education, ethical practices, and equitable benefit distribution, South Africa can leverage AI to build a more resilient, inclusive future of work.

The Schneider Electric Lab is aimed at providing practical training in the electrical industry.

By integrating blockchain with AI-driven analytics, supply chains can monitor energy usage, emissions, and waste, identifying opportunities for improvement.

By using spatial intelligence, organisations can therefore reduce the energy footprint of AI while simultaneously enhancing performance.

Initially associated with cryptocurrency, blockchain has well and truly come into its own and now includes health, transportation, disaster recovery and importantly, supply chain management.

His new responsibilities include strengthening the Schneider Electric Foxboro brand in the SADC region.

The new facility is already operational as a carrier-neutral, AI-ready data centre, boasting to be East Africa's largest and most technologically advanced digital habitat for cloud, colocation, and connectivity.

Data Value Over Volume leverages AI by focusing on extracting meaningful insights from data rather than accumulating large quantities.
