Africa’s AI
infrastructure.
GPU cloud, inference API, and sovereign AI platform — powered by 6.45 GW of GERD hydroelectric. The only AI infrastructure on the African continent with local latency, African language models, and full data sovereignty.
PLATFORM
Three products. One infrastructure.
From raw GPU compute to production inference to national AI sovereignty — all running on Africa’s cheapest renewable energy.
GPU Cloud
On-demand NVIDIA, AMD, and Huawei accelerators. 55% cheaper than AWS. Pre-configured ML environments. InfiniBand interconnect.
Inference API
The only low-latency inference endpoint on the African continent. 5-20ms within East Africa. Host Llama 3, Mistral, Whisper, SDXL — plus African language models.
Sovereign AI
National AI infrastructure for governments. Your citizen data never leaves Africa. Custom language models for your population. Dedicated isolated clusters.
INFERENCE API
The fastest AI API on the African continent.
Every African startup calling OpenAI is routing through US/EU data centers at 200-300ms. We serve inference locally at 5-20ms. 30% cheaper. Same API format.

AFRICAN LANGUAGE MODELS
AI that speaks Africa.
Fine-tuned LLMs for African languages, built on production NLU systems already serving users. Our founding team built Tibeb AI — a multilingual AI agent handling stock trading in Amharic, Oromo, Tigrinya, Somali, and English on the Ethiopian Securities Exchange.
All models are OpenAI API-compatible. Drop-in replacement — change one line of code.

ENTERPRISE & GOVERNMENT
Sovereign AI for nations. Co-location for global tech.
We offer two things no US-based GPU cloud can: full African data sovereignty and carbon-zero AI infrastructure.
FOR GOVERNMENTS
National AI infrastructure that stays national.
Your citizen data processed on African soil. Custom language models for your population. No CLOUD Act, no Five Eyes, no foreign government access.
Currently in partnership discussions with Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Nigeria, and South Africa.
FOR GLOBAL TECH
Your African AI node. Carbon-zero. GDPR-clean.
Train multilingual models on African language data — in Africa. No cross-border data transfer issues. No carbon offsets needed. 100% hydroelectric from source.
Contact enterprise@nilegpu.com for co-location inquiries.
For social platforms
Train multilingual models for your 400M African users. Data stays in Africa. No GDPR cross-border transfer risk.
For voice assistants
Serve voice queries from African users locally at 10ms instead of routing through Ireland at 200ms. On 100% renewable energy.
For fintech
Process African financial data under African jurisdiction. Build credit scoring models that understand local economic patterns.
