New data centre shows Cape Town is still top for tech opportunities
25 January 2023
This week, I had the honour of joining the team at Africa Data Centres for the sod-turning ceremony of their new Cape Town facility.
The data centre is the second in the metro from the business, which is owned by Cassava Technologies, a pan-African tech group.
This new facility, together with the upgrade of the existing hub, means the company’s total investment into infrastructure in Cape Town over the next two to three years will be in excess of R1,5 billion while creating around 500 jobs
It gives me pleasure to confirm that the Investment Facilitation Branch in the Economic Growth Directorate supported the company's development in the metro through the implementation of its incentives programme, which is aimed at helping businesses to land and expand in Cape Town.
