Bayobab Partners With Seekr to Push AI in Africa

MTN Group’s digital arm, Bayobab, has teamed up with Seekr Technologies, a smart AI company from the US, to push AI in Africa. This new partnership means they will offer AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) to help both governments and businesses across Africa use AI in smarter ways.

Bayobab partners with Seekr to push AI by focusing on important areas like digital governance, citizen engagement, and public safety for government work. At the same time, they want to help businesses in financial services, logistics, and energy get better insights through AI. This is all made possible with MTN Digital Infrastructure’s investment in data centers, which are needed for strong AI support.

MTN Group’s CEO, Ralph Mupita, said they are talking with companies from the US and Europe to build more data centers in Africa. These data centers will power AI services right on the continent. Bayobab partners with Seekr because both companies want to bring AI closer to Africa’s needs.

The race for AI is getting hotter. Experts from SAP predict AI could add $1.5 trillion to Africa’s economy by 2030. Bayobab partners with Seekr to turn this big chance into real benefits for everyone—governments, businesses, and communities. Their plan is to speed up how AI technology becomes part of Africa’s digital world.

The work they will do together can bring big changes to both governments and businesses across the continent. This shows Bayobab’s strong wish to help Africa grow using the best technology.

Rob Clark, the president of Seekr, also shared his thoughts. He said both companies want to bring AI tools to African businesses and governments that they can trust to give accurate results. This is important because millions of decisions are made every day using data. Clark said the partnership feels natural because both groups are focused on creating new, helpful technology that benefits communities and companies.
