Introducing Photon - a groundbreaking Pan-African AI Data Centre Infrastructure initiative poised to revolutionise the continent.

Over the next five years, Photon will build decentralised, state-of-the-art gigawatt-scale AI data centres across Africa, positioning the continent at the forefront of the global AI revolution.

Photon marks the dawn of Africa's golden age in Generative Artificial Intelligence, data sovereignty, and economic empowerment. By creating millions of jobs, Photon will ignite sustainable growth across the continent, positioning Africa as a global leader in AI and technology.

Through its AI Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Photon is democratising access to world-class AI tools and resources for African businesses, startups, researchers, and academia, enabling them to integrate “African Intelligence”into their solutions, and compete globally with fairness and authenticity.

Photon’s data centres will be built using open-source AI technologies and cutting-edge hardware and software. The platform’s ultra-low-cost API input/output fees will be payable in Boomcoins (BMC), offering a secure, efficient, and inclusive model for Africa’s digital economy.

Led by Boom Technologies, Photon welcomes collaborations with partners across all sectors of the data centre ecosystem, including software, hardware, Internet connectivity, land, cooling, and power.

Together, we can build the foundation for Africa’s digital future and ensure the continent plays a central role in shaping the global AI revolution.
