WSO2, a leader in enterprise digital infrastructure technology, today announced the opening of its first Africa-based office in Johannesburg, South Africa, underscoring the continent’s growing importance to the company’s global business. The investment comes as governments, banks, telecommunications providers, and retailers across Africa accelerate efforts to modernize legacy systems and prepare their digital foundations for AI.
The Johannesburg office marks the next phase of WSO2’s expansion across Africa. Over the coming years, the company plans to extend its presence into additional markets across East, West, and North Africa, taking a measured approach focused on long-term value creation and strong local partnerships.

The announcement also precedes WSO2Con Africa, taking place in Nairobi, Kenya, on September 22–24, marking the first time WSO2 has brought its flagship technology conference to the continent. The event will bring together business and technology leaders to discuss modernization, integration, digital sovereignty, and the emergence of agentic AI.
“Africa isn’t a peripheral market for WSO2. It’s one of the fastest-growing parts of our business, and this office launch reflects our long-term commitment to the region,” said Dinal Gooneratne, WSO2’s Vice President and General Manager for Africa. “Organizations across the continent are moving from experimentation to execution. Establishing a permanent presence in Johannesburg allows us to work more closely with customers and partners as they modernize critical systems and adopt AI at scale.”
