Nigeria is set to launch its first AI data center as tech consulting shifts from "growth at all costs" to efficiency. Tech strategies in Kenya are focusing on regulatory compliance as a competitive advantage for scaling fintech firms.

Consulting firms in South Africa are advising on "Cyber-Resilience" to combat rising digital threats. Large conglomerates are using M&A to form regional oligopolies in the logistics and payment sectors, bypassing fragmented regulatory hurdles. In Ethiopia, digital transformation strategies are helping local industries automate supply chains. This consolidation era marks a move toward sustainable unit economics, where tech consultants play a key role in strategy.
