Technology leaders and government officials are set to turn attention to a question many believe will determine Nigeria’s future in the AI economy: Does the country have the infrastructure needed to power AI at scale?

That question will take centre stage on July 8 in Abuja when Africa Hyperscalers, in partnership with Vertiv, hosts a high-level Infrastructure Solutions Roundtable titled “The Foundation Behind AI, Cloud & Connectivity.”

The closed-door meeting will bring together senior officials from government, regulators, technology companies and digital infrastructure providers to examine whether Nigeria is ready to support the growing demands of AI, cloud computing and large-scale digital services.
