Liquid C2, a business of Cassava Technologies, has launched Africa’s first Partner Experience Centre powered by Google Cloud in Johannesburg. The facility is designed to empower partners and resellers to move beyond traditional distribution by providing a hands-on environment for designing and deploying cloud and AI solutions tailored to African markets.
The Centre guides partners through a structured journey to obtain official Google Cloud accreditation and certification. In collaboration with specialist engineers from Liquid C2 and Google, partners can architect bespoke solutions to be marketed via Liquid’s extensive distribution network, creating new commercial opportunities and accelerating Africa’s technology ecosystem development.
Partners gain direct access to enterprise-grade technologies like Gemini Enterprise and the Gemini Playspace for rapid AI experimentation, as well as expert support to prototype, test, and scale solutions in real-world settings. Sector-specific platforms demonstrate how AI solutions can enhance efficiency, reduce operational risk, and unlock growth across financial services, healthcare, and retail markets.
Ziaad Suleman, Senior VP of Cassava Technologies and CEO of South Africa & Botswana, said:
“Africa’s digital transformation will thrive through strong partner ecosystems that combine global innovation with local expertise. The Partner Experience Centre offers a practical space to explore, test, and scale AI and cloud solutions, democratizing access across the continent.”
Tara Brady, President, Google Cloud EMEA, added:
“This Centre reflects our commitment to Africa’s digital future, empowering businesses, creating jobs, and delivering the benefits of digital transformation to every corner of the continent.”
The partnership focuses on three pillars:
1. Accelerated Partner Enablement: Practical training, hands-on technology interaction, and business support, including local currency billing and credit options.
2. AI and Technology Innovation: Dedicated “Gemini Playspace & AI Solutions” and integrated “Solutions Pods” for building and demonstrating complex solutions.
3. Economic Growth and Job Creation: Expanding the partner network to foster local expertise and create job opportunities for engineers and tech professionals across Africa.
As a leader in delivering cutting-edge digital technologies, Liquid C2 continues to expand digital inclusion across Africa, enabling enterprises of all sizes to leverage cloud and AI capabilities and participate fully in the continent’s digital economy.
