Africa seeking data centre construction expertise

'With South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria at the forefront of the evolving digital economy, the data centre market in Africa is on the brink of a period of a huge acceleration in growth'

Irish construction and engineering firms have established a leadership position internationally in the delivery of complex data centre projects. Indeed, it has become increasingly difficult to find a major data centre project in the UK, western Europe, and the Nordic countries that doesn't feature strong Irish involvement.

The Irish industry's expertise in data centre construction has its roots in the growth of the sector in Ireland over the past two decades. Irish firms took the expertise gained through building facilities for global leaders at home and used it to win contracts in the international marketplace.
