Open Access

Yesterday, we welcomed the next generation of innovators to Teraco - A Digital Realty Company's CT2 facility as part of our Youth_in_Tech initiative.

Students from Eduvos joined us for an exclusive tour of the data centre, getting a first-hand look at the infrastructure that powers Africa’s internet.

From cloud and connectivity to interconnection and infrastructure, these students represent the bright future of Africa’s digital ecosystem – curious, passionate, and ready to build what’s next.

At Open Access, connection isn’t just about networks – it’s about people. And investing in young talent is one of the most important connections we can make.

Here’s to the next generation of Africa’s internet leaders.

Youth_in_Tech is proudly sponsored by Arista Networks.

Today, we officially kick off the 13th edition of Open Access – The Meeting Place for Africa’s internet community. 🎉

Over the next three days, delegates from across Africa’s digital ecosystem will connect, collaborate, and celebrate the conversations shaping the future of connectivity .
