A few reflections as we go:Globally\, the digital infrastructure industry is in a chapter unlike anything we’ve seen. Our 2026 State of the Industry Report puts total global capacity at 373 GW\, nearly double last year\, with more than 280 GW in the development pipeline and over half a trillion dollars in committed spend from just a handful of public technology companies this year alone. The AI era is compressing decades of buildout into a handful of years. Regionally\, Africa is one of the most important and underserved chapters of this story. The continent has the world’s youngest population\, the fastest-growing internet adoption\, and demand curves that are accelerating. Yet Africa remains one of the least served regions when it comes to digital infrastructure capacity per capita. Closing that gap is not just an economic opportunity; it is a generational one. Locally\, Lagos is where the conversation begins. Nigeria is the demographic and economic gateway to the continent\, and we are proud to soft-launch the iMasons Nigeria Local Chapter with Kasi as our anchor partner\, bringing world-class hyperscale expertise back home to the community that has helped shape so many leaders across our global industry.   \n \n \n \n \n \n During this visit\, our Chairman and Founder Dean Nelson\, will also have the privilege of meeting with the Lagos state governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu\, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy of Nigeria Taiwo Oyedele\, Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) Dr. Segun Ogunsanya\, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of NSIA Mr Aminu Umar-Sadiq\, and other senior government leaders to align on the impacts of digital infrastructure expansion in the region\, from workforce development to enabling conditions that will allow Nigeria’s digital infrastructure ecosystem and communities to grow in partnership. Public-private alignment is how we move from opportunity to outcomes. This trip reflects exactly the engagement model we have been building at iMasons: Think globally. Apply locally. A chapter is not any single company’s platform. It is a community’s. Kasi is our anchor\, and we welcome every operator\, developer\, OEM\, utility\, innovator\, capital sources and policymaker across Nigeria and the broader region to engage\, contribute\, and help shape what comes next.

A chapter is not any single company’s platform. It is a community’s. Kasi is our anchor\, and we welcome every operator\, developer\, OEM\, utility\, innovator\, capital sources and policymaker across Nigeria and the broader region to engage\, contribute\, and help shape what comes next.

A few reflections as we go:Globally\, the digital infrastructure industry is in a chapter unlike anything we’ve seen. Our 2026 State of the Industry Report puts total global capacity at 373 GW\, nearly double last year\, with more than 280 GW in the development pipeline and over half a trillion dollars in committed spend from just a handful of public technology companies this year alone. The AI era is compressing decades of buildout into a handful of years. Regionally\, Africa is one of the most important and underserved chapters of this story. The continent has the world’s youngest population\, the fastest-growing internet adoption\, and demand curves that are accelerating. Yet Africa remains one of the least served regions when it comes to digital infrastructure capacity per capita. Closing that gap is not just an economic opportunity; it is a generational one. Locally\, Lagos is where the conversation begins. Nigeria is the demographic and economic gateway to the continent\, and we are proud to soft-launch the iMasons Nigeria Local Chapter with Kasi as our anchor partner\, bringing world-class hyperscale expertise back home to the community that has helped shape so many leaders across our global industry.   \n \n \n \n \n \n During this visit\, our Chairman and Founder Dean Nelson\, will also have the privilege of meeting with the Lagos state governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu\, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy of Nigeria Taiwo Oyedele\, Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) Dr. Segun Ogunsanya\, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of NSIA Mr Aminu Umar-Sadiq\, and other senior government leaders to align on the impacts of digital infrastructure expansion in the region\, from workforce development to enabling conditions that will allow Nigeria’s digital infrastructure ecosystem and communities to grow in partnership. Public-private alignment is how we move from opportunity to outcomes. This trip reflects exactly the engagement model we have been building at iMasons: Think globally. Apply locally. A chapter is not any single company’s platform. It is a community’s.
