Cassava AI Data Center (Egypt)

Cassava Technologies plans to establish its first North African AI data center in Egypt, leveraging NVIDIA supercomputing platforms to localize model training and inference capacity. The company is targeting Cairo as a launch point for additional 12,000 GPUs that will be deployed across Africa after the initial South African buildout, giving Egyptian banks, government agencies, and startups a sovereign alternative to overseas clouds. The move dovetails with broader UAE–Egypt investment programs that aim to add gigawatt-scale data center capacity and tap the country’s strategic subsea cable connectivity for low-latency regional services.
