The United States international investment agency has injected $30 million into Africa Data Centres (ADC) to expand its storage facilities in Nairobi that provide digital data storage services to businesses across the east, central and southern Africa region.
This is in addition to a $83 million funding dispersed to the company last year as part of the $300 million commitment announced by the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) in 2021 to help the company expand its operations on the continent.
