Uganda’s digital economy is growing rapidly, but experts warn that without strong and sustainable digital infrastructure, this growth could falter.

Caroline Kamaitha, General Manager at Raxio Data Centre Uganda says businesses and government should prioritize investment in robust digital systems to maintain competitiveness in fast-evolving global landscape.

Speaking at the launch of Uganda’s Data Centre Landscape 2025 Report, Kamaitha stressed the urgent need for infrastructure that is not only efficient but also compliant with international standards and resilient enough to support future demands.

“Uganda’s digital economy is gaining pace. What it now needs is robust, compliant and sustainable infrastructure to support growth,”said Kamaitha. “Forward-looking, businesses must embrace cloud, AI, and colocation services to remain competitive and ready for the future.”

The Data Centre Landscape Report 2025 provides a detailed outlook on digital transformation trends across the continent, with a special focus on the rapidly evolving digital economy of Uganda. The report highlights four core drivers of transformation as the upsurge in cloud adoption, rapid rise in artificial intelligence (AI), stricter data sovereignty and compliance frameworks, and the growing relevance of sustainability in infrastructure development.

According to Kamaitha, data centres significantly contribute to digital resilience and economic agenda. She says a robust, secure and sustainable infrastructure are potential to supporting Africa’s digital ambitions.

Ms. Kamaitha Caroline, General Manager Raxio Data Centre Uganda speaking at the launch of the Uganda’s data centre landscape 2025 report, at Raxio Data Centre in Namanve Industrial Park.

“Data centres are not only powering businesses but also advancing public services, financial services, education and health,” she said.

The Uganda Communications Commission and 6Wresearch report shows that cloud computing in Uganda has grown by 30 percent in just three years, and it is projected to grow between 2025 and 2030. According to the communications regulator, this growth is driven by Small and Medium Entreprises (SMEs), efficiency and compliance.

However, experts have emphasized the urgent need for environmentally friendly green data solutions to address the critical challenges of climate change.

“From our operations at Raxio to industry wide initiatives, our goal is to create infrastructure that’s not only reliable but also environmentally conscious, scalable and inclusive,” Kamaitha said.

Additionally, Daniel Birungi, Vice President Technical Operations at Raxio Data Centre stated that NEMA conducts regular audits at the facility to ensure compliance with environmental standards. He noted the centre utilizes advanced technology to measure carbon emissions, and these findings are reported to NEMA, demonstrating the facility’s effective environmental performance.

Edwin Enabu, Sales Manager at Raxio, stated that the facility features a 2N+1 backup capacity, allowing it to withstand a single point of failure in its power, cooling, or security systems. He added that this ensures uninterrupted data access, supporting infrastructure for cloud providers and enabling flexible storage, computing power, and networking solutions for businesses migrating to the cloud.

The launch brought together journalists, raxio staff to discuss data inclusion, infrastructure investment and the future of data governance in Africa.
