Africa's AI moment is here - but most enterprises aren't ready for it. The challenge isn't access to AI tools. It's the foundational infrastructure underneath: APIs, integration, identity, and governance. Get that wrong, and every AI initiative fails.
In this episode, Nixon Kanali sits down with Dinal Gooneratne, VP and General Manager for Africa at WSO2, ahead of WSO2Con Africa 2026 - the first-ever WSO2 flagship conference on the continent, coming to Nairobi's JW Marriott this September.
They get into what "Building the Agentic Enterprise" actually means for a CIO still running legacy infrastructure, why Africa has delivered 30% year-on-year revenue growth for WSO2, what Stima Sacco, MVola, and Uganda's e-government backbone tell us about getting the foundations right, and why digital sovereignty is no longer just a talking point — it's a boardroom decision.
