Wingu Africa is an East African data center, colocation, and cloud services operator running a network of carrier-neutral facilities across Djibouti, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Somaliland, as of 2026. Founded in 2012 with its flagship Djibouti Data Centre (DDC), the company markets itself as the region’s first Tier III, carrier- and cloud-neutral data center ecosystem, and has expanded to five named facilities: two in Djibouti, and one each in Addis Ababa, Dar es Salaam, and Berbera. Its Addis Ababa facility, built inside Ethiopia’s ICT Park at a cost of about $50 million, is described as the country’s first carrier-neutral, Tier III colocation park and now hosts Ethiopia’s first internet exchange (ADDIX). In 2025, Wingu also launched Wingu Cloud Exchange (WCX), a locally hosted private cloud platform with compute, Kubernetes, storage, and security offerings, extending the company beyond pure colocation into cloud services aimed at giving East African businesses an in-region alternative to hyperscale clouds like AWS and Azure. Backed by Africa Capitalworks and a 2025 $60 million funding round from Rand Merchant Bank, Wingu has positioned itself as a specialist regional player rather than a pan-continental giant, differentiating on submarine cable connectivity (notably Djibouti’s role as a major cable landing hub) rather than sheer scale.
Wingu Africa operates as a cloud provider and colocation provider, with facilities at the following locations:
