The Capitall Consortium

Kenya was offered a $1 billion AI data centre, but powering it would have meant taking electricity from everyone else. The Capital Consortium asks the question Africa's tech boom keeps avoiding.

In this week's group chat conversation, we debate Microsoft and G42's stalled Kenyan data centre, why Africa still has an energy problem on a continent full of sunshine, and how one failed deal can scare off the next ten.

Then each of us picks a side: data centres or power grids?

What can $1M do in Kigali vs Nairobi? The Capital Consortium breaks down African city investment, diaspora remittances, and why cities now hold more power than countries.

In this week's group chat conversation, we dig into why Kigali, Rwanda has become Africa's top city for global summits, how safety and ease of doing business attract investors, and why Nairobi and Mauritius are investing in Kigali. We also compare African vs Caribbean remittances (Jamaica vs Egypt per person will surprise you), unpack the informal economy and financial literacy, and ask whether African cities should build their own emergency funds after USAID cuts.

Then each of us answers: if you had $1 million to invest in one African or Caribbean city, where would it go?
