🤖 AI-generated city profile, summarising the source-checked entries below — how this works

Brazzaville is building Central Africa's first fibre-connected national data centre, a EUR66.55m Tier III facility largely financed by the African Development Bank. The project pairs a sovereign-cloud hub with 600km of new fibre reaching into Cameroon and the Central African Republic, positioning the Congolese capital as a subregional digital-sovereignty node. As of mid-2026 it is in final commissioning, its launch having slipped from late 2025.
