TelCables Nigeria, a subsidiary of Angola Cables (www.AngolaCables.co.ao), is proud to announce that it will be hosting the Connect Xperience event. This initiative will bring companies and strategic partners together to evaluate how local cloud infrastructure and services can assist in accelerating digital transformation and bring far reaching benefits to multiple sectors across the Nigerian economy. 

At present, Nigeria's cloud computing market is valued at around $1.03 billion and is expected to grow to $3.28 billion by 2030. With the exponential growth in the digitalization of the financial, technological and commercial sectors, dependence on cloud services is becoming increasingly critical. 

The event will highlight the advantages of adopting a local cloud solution, that offers lower latency, greater data sovereignty, enhanced security and improved compliance with local regulations. 

The IT sector currently contributes approximately 20% to Nigeria's real GDP, underscoring the pivotal role that the sector plays in the nation's economy.  

Fernando Fernandes, CEO of TelCables Nigeria said, “we believe that the future of the cloud in Africa lies in innovative and adaptable solutions that have been developed in Africa, for Africa – and the unique requirements and demands of businesses and users across the continent.  With strategic data centers and world-class connectivity, we are ready to support sustainable digital growth in Nigeria.”  

During the Connect Xperience, TelCables experts will present cloud models tailored to the needs of Nigeria companies, from startups to large corporations, as well as opportunities for local resellers and integrators looking to expand their services based on a robust, affordable and available infrastructure in Lagos. 

“Connect Xperience promises to be a meeting point for IT decision-makers, business leaders and industry professionals interested in exploring reliable, scalable and local cloud solutions that can improve business processes and boost the local Nigerian economy,” concluded Fernandes.
