SoleCrypt took part in the Uganda DeepTech Summit in Kampala, joining the Infrastructure & Data track for a discussion on one of the most important questions facing Africa’s digital economy:

W𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲?

The conversation brought together leaders working across AI, data, connectivity, investment and public policy.

For SoleCrypt, the message was clear: Africa’s digital future is not only about using technology. It is also about hosting it, powering it and making sure the foundations are built locally.

Renewable power, transmission, data centres, fibre connectivity, compute and low-latency delivery are all part of the same stack. Without that foundation, AI and Industry 4.0 remain dependent on infrastructure built elsewhere.

SoleCrypt’s contribution focused on this practical reality. To close the digital infrastructure gap, Africa needs more than ambition. It needs power, land, connectivity, investment and execution working together.

Thank you to Open Startup and the Uganda DeepTech Summit team for bringing this conversation to Kampala and for creating space for a serious discussion on Africa’s infrastructure future.
