CASSAVA Technologies (Cassava) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with U.S.-based Entanglement, Inc. to accelerate the deployment of next-generation artificial intelligence and quantum-inspired computing across Africa and the Middle East.
The strategic partnership seeks to integrate Cassava’s extensive physical infrastructure, comprising high-speed fiber networks, regional data centers, and GPU-enabled compute, with Entanglement’s proprietary algorithms in cybersecurity and quantum logic. The collaboration targets high-growth markets including Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, and the Gulf.
President & Group CEO of Cassava, Hardy Pemhiwa, said the partnership comes at an exciting time for Cassava Technologies, coinciding with the launch of the GPU-as-a-Service.
“Across Africa, we are seeing growing demand for secure, reliable digital infrastructure with powerful processing capabilities. Collaborations like the one we have launched with Entanglement enable us to support the continent’s stakeholders in developing AI solutions relevant to Africa,” he said.
“By combining our infrastructure with Entanglement’s world-class AI and quantum-inspired technologies, we are creating a foundation for innovation that will transform entire industries, strengthen cyber security, and drive sustainable economic growth across Africa and the Middle East.
Entanglement, Inc. specialises in fusing quantum logic with traditional AI to achieve superintelligence on current hardware architectures. This approach allows for quantum-level performance without the need for fully mature quantum computers, unlocking immediate applications in complex fields like biosurveillance and logistics.
“Entanglement is building the most foundational technologies to realise not only superintelligence, but also scalability in the AI ecosystem by uniting proprietary methods and novel chip architectures,” said Jason Turner, Chairman and CEO of Entanglement.
“Our partnership with Cassava not only opens access to some of the fastest-growing digital economies on the planet but also positions us for long-term leadership in markets such as Africa which have been traditionally constrained by infrastructure, energy, and scale.”
