 Liquid C2, a subsidiary of Cassava Technologies, has unveiled Africa’s first Partner Experience Centre powered by Google Cloud. The state‑of‑the‑art facility is designed to accelerate AI adoption and digital transformation across the continent.

The centre provides partners and resellers with hands‑on access to enterprise‑grade technologies, including Google’s Gemini Enterprise and the “Gemini Playspace” for rapid AI experimentation. It also offers structured training, accreditation pathways, and collaborative opportunities with specialist engineers to design and deploy tailored cloud and AI solutions for African markets.

Beyond technical enablement, the initiative is expected to drive economic growth and job creation by expanding Africa’s tech workforce and fostering innovation across sectors such as financial services, healthcare, and retail.

Ziaad Suleman, Senior Vice President of Cassava Technologies, described the centre as “a practical environment where organisations can explore, test, and scale solutions that deliver real business value.” Tara Brady, President of Google Cloud EMEA, added that the collaboration represents “a hub for innovation that will empower businesses, create jobs, and deliver the benefits of digital transformation to every corner of the continent.”

The centre’s focus spans three pillars: accelerated partner enablement, AI and technology innovation, and economic growth through job creation. It marks a milestone in Cassava Technologies’ broader mission to expand digital inclusion across Africa through connectivity, cloud, cybersecurity, and digital solutions.
