Cassava launches AI business unit for its emerging markets
Developing markets technology systems integrator Cassava Technologies has announced that its AI activities will operate as a separate business unit Cassava AI.
Cassava AI is headquartered in London and can already provide services in any of the more than 40 markets in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America where the Cassava Technologies group companies operate, says Cassava president and group CEO Hardy Pemhiwa.
“Ahmed El Beheiry, a veteran technology and telecoms executive, will lead this business unit,” he says.
Since the advent of generative AI (genAI), Cassava has forged strategic partnerships with industry majors, including Microsoft, Google, AWS, Anthropic, Oracle, Atlas AI, Cerebras and Palo Alto Networks.
These partnerships enable Cassava to offer AI systems integration and support to enterprise customers across strategic international markets.
The organisation has already trained and deployed more than 200 people of its 5 000-strong staff to empower customers to adopt and use genAI services from the world’s leading vendors, adds Pemhiwa.
Meanwhile, Cassava also provides services such as data centres, cloud, cybersecurity, fibre connectivity, and renewable energy to large multinational and local companies.
