"With our platform live and supporting incredible companies already, UduTech is proud to continue building the compute backbone on which AI Primes will emerge from Africa to solve critical problems for many."
Udu Technologies is democratizing access to high-performance GPU infrastructure across Africa, enabling researchers, startups, and governments to build and deploy AI systems locally. Founded by Alexander Tsado, a former NVIDIA PM who helped launch the company's global cloud AI business, UduTech is tackling one of the continent's deepest bottlenecks: the scarcity and high cost of compute power that limits Africa's participation in the global AI revolution. Through its GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) platform, Udu Africa GPU Hub, and Udu-Rayda marketplace, the company provides affordable, right-sized GPU access up to 40% cheaper than global providers while integrating financing, consulting, and hardware sourcing to suit Africa's energy and connectivity realities. Active in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa, Udu Technologies partners with governments, donors, and universities to expand compute access for innovators and AI labs. Selected for both the AI Hub's Infrastructure Builder and Compute Ready programmes, UduTech will scale its GPU infrastructure while optimizing AI deployments that showcase how local compute unlocks innovation, embodying the virtuous cycle where infrastructure enablers become innovation leaders, laying the foundation for Africa's moment where breakthrough AI thrives because compute constraints were overcome.
