Safaricom Business and Vodacom are exploring new partnerships and opportunities to strengthen digital infrastructure and cross-border connectivity across Africa.
The companies held a series of strategic meetings with stakeholders in the digital infrastructure ecosystem during ITW Africa 2026, focusing on opportunities to expand their capabilities and create long-term value through industry partnerships.
The discussions centred on the growing infrastructure requirements of Africa’s rapidly expanding digital economy. Safaricom Business highlighted the importance of developing resilient, connected and scalable infrastructure that goes beyond basic connectivity.
The engagement also examined opportunities to strengthen cross-border connectivity as demand for digital services, cloud technologies and reliable infrastructure continues to increase across African markets.
Stronger regional connectivity can support businesses operating across multiple markets while enabling more efficient access to digital services and infrastructure. For telecom and technology providers, collaboration across the digital infrastructure ecosystem is increasingly important to address the scale and complexity of Africa’s connectivity needs.
Safaricom Business said continued cooperation with partners across the sector will be critical to building the digital backbone required to support Africa’s expanding digital economy.
The discussions at ITW Africa 2026 reflect growing efforts by major telecommunications players to develop infrastructure partnerships that can support long-term digital growth, regional connectivity and greater capacity across African markets.
