Cybastion plans to invest $75 million in an AI-powered data center and power plant in Cameroon, expanding the company's digital infrastructure projects across Africa. The U.S. Embassy in Cameroon announced the planned investment on Aug. 27 during the inaugural U.S.-Cameroon Bilateral Economic and Commercial Dialogue in Douala.
The investment was part of the Embassy's announcement of $7 billion in new and expanding American investment and trade opportunities in Cameroon. Cybastion's digital infrastructure project would combine a sovereign data center with dedicated power capacity to support growing demand for computing, digital services and artificial intelligence.
The Commercial Dialogue convened U.S. and Cameroonian government officials to establish a structured partnership to attract greater U.S. private sector investment and strengthen Cameroon's business environment.
Cybastion's planned digital infrastructure project advances its Digital Fast Track platform, an integrated approach to digital transformation that combines digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, digital solutions, reliable energy, and workforce development to build secure and resilient digital ecosystems.
Ahead of the dialogue, Daniel Epee Lea, Cybastion's senior director of Infrastructure Solutions, moderated an Aug. 26 high-level panel organized by the U.S. Embassy in Cameroon with private sector leaders on the country's digital economy, business climate and opportunities for investment in the technology sector.
Panelists Dr. Winfred Mfuh, Technical Adviser at Cameroon's Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, Dr. Divine Anye, CEO of Info Pro Solutions, and Ayuk Etta, founder of Mountain Hub, weighed in on the opportunities and barriers to investment in digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, digital transformation and AI.
Panelists also discussed ways to strengthen collaboration among government, local technology companies and international partners in scaling Cameroon's digital economy.
As cloud computing and AI expand, Cybastion's digital infrastructure project in Douala will address the interconnected needs for computing capacity and reliable power from the outset.
