The Malawian government and Chinese information and communications technology company Huawei have commissioned Malawi's first-ever National Data Center.
The completion of the data center is part of Malawi's efforts to embrace technology as a tool to accelerate development and make it accessible to all at every level.
Speaking during the handover ceremony held Thursday in the country's second-largest city of Blantyre, Malawian President Lazarus Chakwera said the data center will give Malawi a stake in the 4th Industrial Revolution of big data, artificial intelligence, digital financial services and the internet of things (IoT), among others.
