Where is land worth assembling for data centre use, and what makes it worth it?
Connectivity, power, and demand read separately per market, so a site can be judged on the infrastructure that reaches it rather than on the country it happens to sit in.
“Good connectivity” describes a coastal landing station and a single upstream provider equally well, and the distinction between them is what separates a campus site from a plot with a view.
The power case and the occupier case usually arrive in different reports on different bases, and they rarely reconcile in the room where the decision actually gets made.
A lender asked to fund an assembly wants to check the inputs rather than accept a summary, and a thesis built on figures that cannot be attributed gets discounted.
Land is only worth assembling if somebody will build on it, and that question needs the operators already active in the market rather than a demand narrative.
One public framework, applied identically to all 54 African markets, with every input sourced and dated.
Fibre reach, coastal access for submarine cable landings, and existing hyperscale presence carry their own weights inside the connectivity pillar rather than being folded into one claim.
A market page shows the demand side and the power side against the same 100-point scale, so the case for a build is legible in one place instead of being assembled from three reports that disagree.
Every figure carries its source and its date, and the whole methodology is public. That is the difference between a land thesis a lender can check and one they have to take on trust.
Every market page carries that market’s sourced coverage, so the operators, projects, and financings actually moving there are readable as published record rather than as a demand narrative.
Connectivity and Fibre is the pillar that decides which locations inside a market are worth assembling land in. It is one of the five the composite is built from, and it is scored the same way in every market.
Generation capacity and electrification underpinning always-on compute.
Submarine-cable access, fibre reach, and hyperscale footprint.
Monetary stability and the size of the economy.
Addressable market size and workforce readiness.
Governance, ease of doing business, capital inflows, and language reach.
The composite is a weighted sum of these five pillars. What each pillar measures, and how much it carries, is our own model and is not published; every market is scored on the same five pillars, under the same model. Full method
SeychellesThe facility, inaugurated in Victoria, is built with redundant power, cooling and network paths and is pitched at regional clients needing secure hosting for cloud, financial and government workloads. For a market of under 100,000 people, the bet is that connectivity and stability, not domestic demand, are what fill the racks.
MoroccoOracle launched a public cloud region hosted by N+ONE Datacenters in Casablanca, the first full hyperscaler region in North Africa, with a second planned for Settat. It moves Morocco from "hyperscaler-adjacent" to hyperscaler-present, the shift that separates the top of this index on connectivity from the rest.
KenyaiXAfrica will act as host partner for an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region in Nairobi, the country’s first public cloud region. It sits on a 22MW hyperscale, carrier-neutral campus built for AI workloads and tied to renewable supply, which moves latency-sensitive workloads onshore for the first time.
Give us the market and the location you are looking at. We can look at what reaches that site, what is already built nearby, and who the credible occupier set is.
The full ranking, every market profile, and the whole methodology are public. Nothing on this site sits behind a signup, so this form is for work you want from us, not access you already have.
