  "summary": "Nigeria's UduTech, a GPU cloud and infrastructure platform, has partnered with South Korean AI infrastructure company Baro AI to expand the supply of high-performance GPUs to African governments, businesses, and research institutions. 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.",
