Customer Service Week takes place each year from 5–9 October to recognise the people who make a difference to the customer experience every day.

This year’s theme, The Extra Mile, reminds us that good customer service often lies in the small things: taking the time to listen, understanding what a customer needs, following through, or finding a practical way forward.

Across Ethiopia, Djibouti and Tanzania, our teams work closely with customers every day, building relationships, responding to their needs and continually learning along the way.

This week, we want to say thank you to our customers for choosing Wingu, and to our teams for the care and effort they put in every day, including the work that often happens behind the scenes.

Happy Customer Service Week from all of us at Wingu Africa.

At the STRIDE 2.0 Summit in Addis Ababa, Teshome Worku, Senior Group Director: Regulatory & Government Affairs at Wingu Africa, shared his perspective on Expanding Sovereign Digital Infrastructure Through Private Sector Synergy.

His presentation examined the private sector's role in supporting Digital Ethiopia 2030, focusing on data sovereignty, sovereign cloud, and the resilient digital infrastructure needed to support Ethiopia’s growing digital ecosystem.

After the presentation, Teshome received a Certificate of Appreciation from H.E. Dr Belete Molla Getahun, Ethiopia's Minister of Innovation and Technology, which was particularly meaningful for Wingu Africa.

For us, the recognition reflects our contribution to Ethiopia’s digital ecosystem and our commitment to supporting the country’s digital ambitions with secure, reliable infrastructure.

Thank you to the Ministry of Innovation and Technology and the STRIDE 2.0 team for creating a space for these conversations and bringing together the people and organisations helping shape Ethiopia’s digital future.

Ethiopia is taking another step towards a more structured approach to data.

On 28 September, the Council of Ministers approved the National Data Governance Draft Proclamation for submission to the House of Peoples’ Representatives. The proposed framework looks beyond personal data protection, with a focus on data sovereignty, interoperability, AI research and data-led economic growth.

But there’s an important part of this conversation that can sometimes get overlooked: infrastructure.

Data governance needs somewhere to run. Applications need computing power. Data needs secure places to reside. And organisations need reliable connectivity to move information between systems, cloud environments and users.

For businesses operating in Ethiopia, questions around where data is hosted, how it moves and how infrastructure can scale are becoming increasingly important.

In our latest blog, we look at what Ethiopia’s evolving data governance landscape means for businesses, and why data centres, connectivity and cloud infrastructure will play an important role in making these ambitions work in practice.

What does digital infrastructure look like across East Africa?

The answer isn’t the same in every market.

In our latest blog, we look at three very different stories:

🇪🇹 Ethiopia: rapid digital adoption is driving demand for more cloud, compute and data centre capacity.

🇩🇯 Djibouti: its strategic position and submarine cable connectivity create an opportunity to turn a connectivity advantage into a broader digital services ecosystem.

🇹🇿 Tanzania: national fibre, international connectivity, data centres and evolving data governance are coming together to support a growing digital economy.

There’s a common thread running through all three: connectivity alone isn’t enough.

As cloud adoption grows, AI workloads increase and more critical services move online, businesses also need reliable places to store, process and exchange data.

That makes data centres, interconnection, power, resilience and data governance increasingly important pieces of the same infrastructure story.

We take a closer look at what’s changing in each market and what it means for businesses operating across the region.

Anthony Voscarides, Co-founder & Group CEO of Wingu Africa, joined an experienced panel of industry leaders, sharing his perspective on the opportunities and realities shaping Africa’s data centre landscape.

Anthony brought a practical perspective to the discussion, drawing on Wingu Africa’s experience of developing data centre capacity across East Africa and the growing demand for colocation, connectivity and cloud infrastructure across the region.

As Africa’s digital requirements continue to evolve, conversations like these are essential to understanding where demand is coming from, what customers need next, and how the industry can respond.

The first wave is here, and the conversation is only beginning. Visit Wingu Africa at Stand #301.

Our VP of Sales, Ralph Albert Vraagom, welcomed Stephen Motari Isaboke, EBS, Principal Secretary for Broadcasting and Telecommunications, to the Wingu Africa stand.

They discussed the evolving digital infrastructure landscape in Kenya and the important role that resilient, connected infrastructure plays in supporting the country’s digital economy.

As a carrier-neutral data centre operator with a growing footprint across East Africa, Wingu is committed to building the connectivity, infrastructure, and digital ecosystems businesses and communities need to grow.

We look forward to continuing the conversations and connections throughout ITW - a techoraco brand in Africa.

Visit Wingu Africa at Stand #301.

Cloud adoption is no longer the difficult part. The real challenge is ensuring it delivers meaningful value to the business.

As more businesses in Ethiopia move critical applications and services to the cloud, the conversation is becoming less about adoption and more about how well the technology environment supports the organisation. Performance, reliability, connectivity and the ability to bring different IT environments together all play a role in whether cloud delivers the outcomes the business expects.

Cloud does not operate in isolation, and the infrastructure around it matters. Reliable connectivity, local data centre infrastructure and efficient interconnection can help businesses create a more connected environment for their applications, data and digital services, while reducing some of the complexity that can come with increasingly distributed IT environments.

This is where Wingu Cloud Exchange can play a role. Through Wingu Africa’s local data centre ecosystem in Ethiopia, businesses can connect to cloud environments and create a more direct relationship between their infrastructure, cloud services and the applications that support their operations.

For us, the opportunity is bigger than simply helping businesses connect to the cloud. It is about helping create the infrastructure environment that allows businesses to get more from their cloud investments and build with greater confidence as their digital needs evolve.
Ethiopia's cloud journey is entering an important next phase, and we believe the focus should be on creating an ecosystem where cloud, connectivity and local infrastructure work together to support real business growth.

If you are reviewing your cloud or hybrid IT strategy, speak to Wingu Africa about how Wingu Cloud Exchange can help create a more connected foundation for your business.
