The South Africa data center market is expected to reach a value of $3.71 billion by 2029 from $2.28 billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 8.44%

In South Africa, Johannesburg and Cape Town are the hubs for data center development. At the same time, other cities such as Centurion, Durban, and Port Elizabeth, among others, are also expected to grow in the South Africa data center market during the forecast period. In 2023, South Africa received investments from several colocation data center operators, expanding their market presence. For instance, in November 2023, Open Access Data Centres (OADC) grew its Johannesburg data center facility in South Africa, expanding its power capacity to 4MW and 600 racks, expected to be complete in Q1 2024. Equinix and Vantage Data Centers are among the prominent ones.

For instance, in April 2023, AWS announced its plan to invest $1.66 billion in expanding its cloud infrastructure in South Africa by 2029. Digital connectivity is growing strongly with the advent of submarine cables, such as 2Africa, which is supposed to be operational by 2024, and T3, which is supposed to be operational by the end of 2024, helping to reduce latency. This reduction in latency has made it possible for data center operators to offer faster and more reliable services to their customers, which has driven investments in the South Africa data center market.

Operators such as Vantage Data Centers, Africa Data Centres, and Teraco (Digital Realty) are procuring renewable energy. This strategic move not only aligns with their sustainability goals but also creates a positive impact on the environment and community. The ICT sector in South Africa has significant potential, which is expected to grow to more than USD 60 billion by 2028. Several enterprises and organizations are migrating their workloads to the cloud platform, boosting the colocation market.

Yon Raz-Fridman Joins Intrinsic Labs as Co-Founder and Partner

Published

on

By

Most AI companies are selling software. Intrinsic is deploying AI workers into the core operations of mid-market companies – and just brought in a serial tech entrepreneur to help the firm scale across the Heartland.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Intrinsic Labs today announced that Yon Raz-Fridman has joined the firm as a Co-Founder and Partner.

Raz-Fridman has spent nearly two decades building across software, hardware, and platform businesses. Early in his career, he served as Chief of Staff to the President of Keter Group, a $1 billion-plus global consumer products manufacturer. He went on to co-found Kano, the award-winning educational computing company, and later founded Supersocial, the immersive gaming studio acquired by Super League Enterprises in 2025. He is a member of the World Economic Forum’s Technology Convergence Council.

He joins Intrinsic at a moment when mid-market companies are moving from AI experimentation to deployment. Intrinsic works with operators in logistics, construction, insurance, manufacturing, and industrial markets to deploy AI workers into the workflows that run the business – increasing throughput, reducing manual work, and expanding capacity without adding headcount.

The firm has built its reputation on practical deployments tied to real operating metrics. In one engagement with a national real estate brokerage, Intrinsic’s AI Accounting Agents reached 97% invoice coding accuracy, automated 90% of the AP workflow, and fully removed FTEs from the review flow.

“Yon understands what it takes to build and scale in the real world,” said Jon Slemp, Managing Partner at Intrinsic Labs. “Our clients aren’t buying flashy agents, they’re buying outcomes and reliable labor. They need agentic systems that take work off their teams, perform reliably, and produce measurable gains in throughput and capacity. That’s what we build.”

As Co-Founder, Raz-Fridman will oversee Intrinsic’s expansion – designing the channel relationships, institutional partnerships, and market positioning that take the firm from a proven Ohio model to the defining AI workforce platform for America’s industrial middle market.

“The companies that win over the next decade will be the ones that figure out how to staff AI into their operations and manage it like a workforce. Intrinsic is doing that work now, inside real businesses, tied to real outputs. The Heartland is exactly the right place to prove this model, and Intrinsic is exactly the right team to do it.” — Yon Raz-Fridman
