The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), home to over 100 million people and the bustling city of Kinshasa with a population exceeding 16 million, is witnessing substantial growth in content consumption. This surge is fueled by greater access to connectivity and continuous digitization initiatives. As both the government and private sector continue investing in digital infrastructure, the demand for localized content and services is on the rise.
ST Digital’s expansion into the DRC market via the OADC Texaf – Kinshasa data center is a strategic decision that positions the company to capitalize on the increasing demand, offering faster and more reliable content delivery to millions of users.
