Africa’s AI ambition hits an expensive reality of compute, power, compliance

The deal, signed at the Korea-Africa Economic Cooperation (KOAFEC) Ministerial Conference in Seoul, gives UduTech access to Baro AI's multi-GPU Poseidon servers and broadens the range of hardware available through its AGH Cloud platform.

This partnership aims to address Africa's limited GPU infrastructure, which currently stands at less than 1% of global data centre capacity, and the hardware delivery delays often faced by African buyers from major suppliers.
