This is how we're going to solve the problem of a shortage of doctors that is so pervasive across most of Africa.

And in many of the rural areas of Africa where there's so much arable land, there's such a shortage of agronomists.

And now Yemurai, powered with a smartphone,

and an AI assistant is able to solve these problems.

Now I'm looking at you and you're asking yourselves, how is this even possible?

I'm glad you asked.

My name is Hadi Pemiwa.

I am the CEO of Cassava Technologies.

We are the company that has literally connected Africa.

We are connecting more than 300 towns and cities across Africa with fiber broadband, bringing internet to more than 500 million people across the continent.

And we have now added a platform of interconnected data centers that are AI ready.

And this is where AI meets the infrastructure that Cassava has been building.

Our plan now is to build Africa's first AI factory using local data, algorithms, local compute capacity to produce local intelligence.

We're building an AI ecosystem for those that were previously excluded because we understand that without AI infrastructure, Africa is going to fall further behind.

Our AI factory is about bringing breakthroughs.

It's about bringing job creation.

It's about powering Yemura's dream of being a doctor, an agronomist, and a teacher.

Powered with mobile broadband, mobile money, fiber broadband, and now GPUs that we've been able to get from Nvidia.

We are bringing to life AI infrastructure for Africa to compete with everybody else in this AI age.

This is Africa's AI revolution.
