Business Executives Gather in Lagos for AI Infrastructure Dialogue
On 26 June 2025, Vertiv, a global provider of digital infrastructure solutions, will host the Lagos edition of its AI Solutions Innovation Roadshow. The event expects to bring together over 80 C-suite executives and technology leaders to focus on the infrastructure needs essential for adopting artificial intelligence across Africa’s enterprises.
Organised in partnership with Africa Hyperscalers and Turner & Townsend, the forum carries the theme “AI-Ready Infrastructure: Powering the Future of Enterprise Innovation.” It will focus on the critical demand for AI-capable infrastructure as sectors like banking, oil and gas, telecommunications, and manufacturing increase their use of AI and high-performance computing.
Key Themes and Industry Focus
The event will highlight real-world AI applications in industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, telecoms, healthcare, and financial services. Discussions will concentrate on essential infrastructure challenges including compute power, energy efficiency, cooling solutions, and scalable digital frameworks.
Executives will engage in keynote presentations, high-level panel discussions, and exclusive closed-door strategy sessions aimed at aligning policy, partnerships, and market strategies. The goal is to equip African enterprises to advance with AI while building resilient, sustainable digital infrastructure.
