Raxio Data Centres Mozambique this week received an institutional visit from the Innovation, Digital Transformation and Social Communication Committee of the Confederation of Economic Associations of Mozambique (CTA), highlighting the growing focus on digital infrastructure as a driver of national economic development.

The delegation, led by CTA Committee President Mahomed Zameer, who is also Chief Executive Officer of Yango Mozambique & Angola, toured Raxio’s Beluluane facility. The engagement formed part of ongoing industry dialogue on the strategic importance of resilient, secure, and high-availability data infrastructure in Mozambique’s digital transformation agenda.

Raxio’s Beluluane site, recognized as Mozambique’s first independent Tier III certified data centre, was designed to support mission-critical services in line with international standards for uptime, security, and operational resilience. Discussions during the visit extended beyond technical capabilities, focusing on the broader economic and regulatory implications of digital infrastructure investment.

Participants examined the role of data centres in advancing digital sovereignty, particularly through local data storage, regulatory compliance, and the enablement of cloud computing, financial services, telecommunications, and enterprise digitalisation. Stakeholders also addressed the evolving digital regulatory framework, with emphasis on the need for continued cooperation between regulators, operators, and industry bodies.

Raxio officials reiterated the importance of aligning regulatory objectives with operational realities, noting that Tier III certified facilities represent critical assets in ensuring service continuity, data protection, and infrastructure reliability. The company expressed readiness to contribute technical expertise to policy and compliance discussions shaping Mozambique’s digital ecosystem.

The visit reflects increasing collaboration between private sector infrastructure providers and business associations as Mozambique accelerates efforts to strengthen its digital economy. Industry leaders continue to stress that robust digital infrastructure is not solely a commercial necessity but a foundational element of national development.
