Analytics Intelligence, a leading provider of artificial intelligence and data analytics solutions, has entered a strategic partnership with Open Access Data Centres (OADC), a WIOCC Group company, to develop sovereign AI and cloud solutions that enable African enterprises to deploy secure, scalable and locally hosted AI infrastructure.

The partnership brings together Analytics Intelligence’s enterprise AI platform and advanced analytics capabilities with OADC’s growing network of edge data centres across Africa. Together, the two organisations are bringing to the market integrated NeoCloud solutions that simplify AI adoption while addressing the increasing demand for data sovereignty, regulatory compliance and high-performance infrastructure across the continent.
  
Central to the offering is access to high-performance computers, including AI Processing Units (APUs) hosted within OADC’s data centres, giving enterprises the accelerated processing power needed to train and run demanding AI workloads locally.

As AI adoption accelerates across Africa, organisations are looking for technology solutions that allow them to harness the power of AI without compromising data privacy, security or local regulatory requirements. This collaboration is designed to address those needs by combining trusted infrastructure with enterprise-grade AI capabilities in a unified offering.

Analytics Intelligence will lead the development of industry-specific AI applications tailored to enterprise use cases. For financial institutions, this includes secure private analytics environments that support data sovereignty and regulatory compliance.

Speaking on the partnership, Founder and CEO of (AI) Analytics Intelligence, David Edoja, said: “Africa’s AI future depends on more than powerful technology; it depends on infrastructure that is secure, resilient, and built for the realities of our markets. With OADC, we’re putting enterprise-grade AI and the compute power behind it directly into the hands of African organisations, helping them innovate with confidence while keeping their data where it belongs, on the continent and under their control.”

Chief Executive Officer of OADC, Ayotunde Coker, added: “Our mission has always been to bring world-class digital infrastructure closer to the businesses and communities that rely on it. By partnering with (AI) Analytics Intelligence, we’re combining that infrastructure with advanced AI capabilities to help organisations accelerate innovation while meeting their performance, security and compliance requirements.”

The partnership represents a shared commitment to strengthening Africa’s digital economy by making sovereign AI infrastructure more accessible to businesses across the continent. As organisations continue to invest in AI-driven transformation, [AI] Analytics Intelligence and OADC will work together to develop solutions that support innovation while meeting the region’s evolving data residency, security, and operational requirements.
