About DAISA
DAISA (Distributed Africa Infrastructure for Supercomputing Applications) is a Nairobi-listed infrastructure platform focused on designing and delivering high-performance, sovereign-aligned digital assets across Africa. It describes itself as the continent's "technical refinery" for compute.
Its flagship plan is a sovereign-grade digital hub on the Eastern African coast that combines clean energy, subsea connectivity and high-performance computing, aimed at closing gaps in data sovereignty, compute capacity and connectivity. The website presents an investment overview, technical details, governance, standards and an architecture review, which suggests the project is at the development and fundraising stage rather than an operating service.
