WIOCC Secures $65 Million in Sustainability-Linked Loans for African Digital Infrastructure Expansion

WIOCC Group has raised $65 million in sustainability-linked debt financing to expand digital infrastructure across Africa. The funding, arranged by International Finance Corporation (IFC), Proparco, Emerging Africa & Asia Infrastructure Fund, and Ninety-One, supports WIOCC's efforts to develop resilient and scalable digital infrastructure.

Since 2008, WIOCC has invested over $750 million in African digital infrastructure, connecting open-access data centers with hyperscale connectivity. This financing follows a similar loan in 2024 that included $10 million and ZAR 200 million from IFC and $20 million from Proparco, aimed at enhancing data center and fiber rollout.
