Executive Chairman of Phase3 Telecom, Stanley Jegede, has called for increased investment in cross-border digital infrastructure as a catalyst for inclusive economic growth and accelerated digital transformation across Africa.
Speaking on the Africa Spotlight panel at the CCT Global 2025 Summit in Dublin, Ireland, Mr. Jegede emphasized that Africa’s digital future depends on how quickly the continent can bridge existing connectivity gaps.
“Africa’s future rests on how fast we can close the digital divide,” Jegede said. “Cross-border infrastructure is not just about cables—it is about unlocking opportunity, advancing equity, and enabling regional prosperity.”
Held at The Alex Hotel, the summit brought together global leaders in telecom, cloud, and digital content infrastructure. Jegede shared the panel with executives from Meta, Google, Microsoft, and other major global tech firms. The session was moderated by renowned telecom analyst Russell Southwood, and focused on closing Africa’s connectivity gap through infrastructure innovation and policy alignment.
