Raxio Group is a pan-African data centre developer and operator that builds and runs its own Tier III-certified, carrier-neutral colocation facilities across seven African countries, as of 2026: Uganda, Ethiopia, Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Angola, and Tanzania. Rather than serving established hubs like Johannesburg or Nairobi, Raxio deliberately targets underserved, often first-mover markets — many of its facilities are the country’s very first independent, carrier-neutral, Tier III data centre. Backed by investors including Roha Group and infrastructure fund Meridiam, and with debt financing from the IFC, Proparco, and the Emerging Africa & Asia Infrastructure Fund, Raxio has raised a funding pool that reportedly reached $380 million as of 2026. Founded in 2018, the company opened its first live facility in Kampala, Uganda in 2021 and has since scaled to a network it describes as the widest footprint of carrier-neutral facilities on the continent.
