Cybastion has announced a planned $75 million investment in an AI-powered data centre and power plant in Cameroon, as the U.S.-based technology company strengthens its digital infrastructure presence across Africa.
The investment was disclosed by the U.S. Embassy in Cameroon on August 27, during the inaugural U.S.-Cameroon Bilateral Economic and Commercial Dialogue held in Douala.
The project is part of a wider announcement by the U.S. Embassy highlighting approximately $7 billion in new and expanding U.S. investment and trade opportunities in Cameroon.
Prior to the bilateral dialogue, Cybastion’s Senior Director of Infrastructure Solutions, Daniel Epee Lea, moderated a high-level panel organised by the U.S. Embassy on August 26.
