What the agreement covers
Cassava Technologies, which describes itself as a global technology leader, announced that it is now an authorised reseller of Claude on Amazon Bedrock. The company describes Claude as Anthropic's state-of-the-art large language model, with features such as advanced reasoning, vision analysis, code generation and multilingual processing.
According to Cassava, the deal lets it offer organisations across Africa an additional way to reach these capabilities. The company says this should help them adopt AI technology more easily as they prepare for future growth.
Through Amazon Bedrock, organisations can access Anthropic's Claude models and incorporate them into their own applications and services. Cassava's reseller status means African customers can obtain that access through a local partner focused on serving businesses across the continent.

Hardy Pemhiwa, President and Group CEO of Cassava Technologies, framed the move around customer demand. "What matters to our customers is being able to use AI in their business, and that starts with access to the best models," he said.

He described the company's goal as "advanced AI within reach of every business, government, researcher, entrepreneur and university across the emerging markets globally."

Cassava says it is investing in the infrastructure and solutions needed to support wider adoption of artificial intelligence across Africa. Its digital ecosystem spans connectivity, cloud, cyber security and AI solutions, and it operates a continent-wide data centre footprint.
In its company description, Cassava says it provides Connectivity, Colocation, Cloud, Cybersecurity, Compute AI and Payment solutions, mostly to enterprise customers in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, Europe and the UK. Its solutions serve customers in 37 countries.
