Cassava Technologies Launches Its Own AI Unit

Cassava Technologies has announced that its Artificial Intelligence (AI) activities will now operate as a separate business unit, Cassava AI.

The company has forged strategic partnerships with industry giants such as Microsoft, Google, AWS, Anthropic, Oracle, Atlas AI, Cerebras, and Palo Alto Networks, since the advent of Generative AI (GenAI). The partnerships will enable Cassava to offer superior systems integration and support to enterprise customers across strategic international markets.

Cassava already provides services such as Data Centres, Cloud, Cyber Security, Fibre Connectivity, and Renewable Energy to large multinational and local companies. The organisation has already trained and deployed more than 200 people of its 5000 staff to empower customers to adopt and use Generative AI services from the world’s leading vendors.

Headquartered in the UK, Cassava was founded by African Entrepreneur Strive Masiyiwa and includes many leading global institutional investors.

“Cassava AI is headquartered in London and can already provide services in any of the 40-plus markets in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, where the Cassava Technologies group companies operate. Ahmed El Beheiry, a veteran technology and telecoms executive, will lead this business unit,” said Hardy Pemhiwa, President and Group CEO, Cassava Technologies.
