WIOCC Group, Africa’s leading carrier-neutral digital infrastructure platform, has secured a combined $300 million investment from Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) and Saudi Arabia-based Vision International Investment Company (Vision Invest) to accelerate the expansion of fibre networks, data centres and subsea infrastructure across the continent.
The investment, formalised through a Shareholder Subscription Agreement signed at the LEAP 2026 Global Technology exhibition in Riyadh, comes as Africa faces a widening digital infrastructure gap amid rapidly growing demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), data and digital services.
