Industry Assessment Overview

Industry Findings: Buyers are recalibrating procurement toward telco-anchored and state-backed tenancy because domestic traceability and resilience to FX and supply shocks now trump lowest-cost bids; this favours vendors that can demonstrate local power arrangements, carrier on-ramps and in-country rack qualification (Jul-2025). As a result, enterprises and government agencies prefer integrated offers from local carriers and colo operators who can guarantee continuity and audited locality.

Industry Progression: A concrete telco and operator momentum is enabling local certified tenancy. Econet’s data-centre services and Liquid Intelligent Technologies’ regional strategy (2024–2025) together show that Zimbabwe now has credible local data-centre operators providing rack tenancy and managed services. That single axis reduces procurement friction for regulated sectors, enabling system integrators to offer in-country, pre-validated accelerator stacks with clearer sustainment paths.

Industry Player Insights: Among the many providers in this market, a few include Econet, Liquid Intelligent Technologies, TelOne, and NetOne etc. Zimbabwean buyers now favour carrier-led tenancy packages that combine local colo, connectivity and certified rack offers. Examples — Econet’s data-centre services and Liquid’s operational presence and group updates (2024–2025) — show how telco and colo operators enable lower validation risk for government and enterprise AI deployments; impact: shorter procurement and deployment timelines for regulated workloads.
