WIOCC Group has secured a combined $300m investment from Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) and Vision International Investment Company to accelerate the expansion of digital infrastructure across Africa

The investment will support the deployment and consolidation of data centres, expansion of WIOCC’s open-access terrestrial fibre network and investment in new subsea cable assets

Operating in more than 30 African countries, WIOCC provides connectivity infrastructure to businesses and digital service providers. The funding comes as demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other digital services continues to rise across the continent

According to the International Telecommunication Union, only 35.7% of Africa’s population used the internet in 2025, compared with a global average of 73.6%

AFC President and CEO, Samaila Zubairu, said stronger digital infrastructure would help African businesses and communities connect to the global economy, innovate and compete internationally

WIOCC Group CEO, Chris Wood, said the investment would accelerate the company’s long-term growth strategy and strengthen connectivity between Africa and international markets
