From Dependency to Agency: Africa Is Engineering Its Own AI Sovereignty
This year’s cohort of AI Infrastructure Builders is reshaping the continent’s technological backbone—advancing localized data centres, renewable-energy-powered compute, and seamless local-currency payment rails. This is sovereignty in action: a shift from relying on external systems to owning the infrastructure that will define our digital and economic future.
We are especially proud to see EverseTech recognized among the innovators driving this transformation. EverseTech is democratizing AI adoption across Africa through locally hosted, end-to-end AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) solutions that combine infrastructure access with deep technical expertise.
EverseTech: Advancing Accessible AI Across Africa
Founded in 2021 by Michael Michie, a cybersecurity and AI specialist, the company tackles one of the continent’s most persistent challenges: the high cost and complexity of acquiring AI infrastructure and technical talent. Through flexible pay-as-you-go or subscription models, EverseTech provides:
- On-demand GPU infrastructure
- Model hosting and fine-tuning
- Monitoring and lifecycle support for AI systems
This dramatically lowers the risk and cost of AI adoption — enabling organizations to experiment, build, and scale without prohibitive upfront investment.
Driving Adoption Through Strategic Partnerships
Headquartered in Nairobi and supported by partners such as Atlancis Technologies, EverseTech has already deployed 1.1 TB of GPUs and launched seven proof-of-concept AI projects across sectors including media, education, finance, and food.
The company’s broader mission is to build Africa’s leading distributed compute network — scalable, locally grounded, affordable, and aligned with African realities.
Africa’s AI Future, Built on African Terms
“Africa is no longer waiting to be included in the global tech narrative — we are engineering our own intelligent future.”
As localized AI infrastructure expands, African innovators gain greater autonomy to design, deploy, and govern solutions that reflect the continent’s cultural, economic, and social landscapes.
