The specialist media DCmag has recently published its Top 11 datacenter leaders in French-speaking Africa, highlighting companies that play a strategic role in the development of digital infrastructure on the continent. Among these leading actors is ST DIGITAL , recognized for its commitment to a 100% African cloud.
This distinction confirms the group's position ST DIGITAL as a pioneer of African digital sovereignty, through its investments in modern and high-performance datacenters in Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroun, Gabon, Togo, and soon in other countries of the region.
The 100% African cloud: a response to digital sovereignty challenges
The question of data sovereignty has become central. African businesses, governments and institutions are faced with a dilemma: continue to depend on foreign infrastructures or invest in local solutions adapted to the realities of the continent.
ST DIGITAL has made the strategic choice to develop a 100% African cloud, hosted on infrastructure located in Africa, operated by local teams, and designed to meet international standards in terms of security, availability, and performance.
This model not only makes it possible to guarantee data confidentiality, but also to stimulate the local digital economy, by creating skilled jobs and strengthening technical capabilities across the continent.
African data centres, designed for Africa
The group ST DIGITAL has invested in the construction and operation of next-generation datacenters in several French-speaking African countries. These infrastructures are designed to provide colocation, cloud hosting, backup, and disaster recovery services, and much more.
Each data centre is designed to meet the specific needs of the local market, while complying with international standards and best practices in cybersecurity and energy management.
ST DIGITAL enables African businesses to migrate to the cloud with confidence, with reliable, scalable, and competitive solutions.

At the head of ST DIGITAL, Anthony Same embodies a new generation of African leaders, driven by an ambitious and inclusive vision of the digital world. His entrepreneurial journey is marked by a constant desire to develop local talent, create regional synergies, and position Africa as a major technological player.
Under his leadership, ST DIGITAL does not merely build data centers: the group is developing a complete digital ecosystem, including training, startup support, digitalization of public services, and the promotion of local innovation.
This holistic approach makes ST DIGITAL a strategic partner for governments, businesses and institutions seeking to accelerate their digital transformation while strengthening their technological autonomy.
