The Empower Africa Business Platform is Now Live !!!
African businesses are set for a major boost in cybersecurity, cloud solutions, and artificial intelligence (AI) thanks to a new collaboration between Liquid C2, Google Cloud, and Anthropic.
Liquid C2, a subsidiary of Cassava Technologies, will become one of Google Cloud’s leading Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) in Africa.
This means improved protection for businesses and access to cutting-edge cloud technologies from Google. Additionally, businesses will gain access to Google Workspace for enhanced teamwork and productivity, along with innovative AI tools to fuel creativity.
The partnership goes beyond basic services, with Liquid C2 also working directly with Anthropic, a leading AI company, to develop custom AI solutions for large enterprises seeking to optimize operations and gain a competitive edge.
Anthropic’s advanced AI models, including Claude, excel in various tasks like dialogue, content creation, complex reasoning, and even coding. These powerful AI tools will be readily available through Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform.
This collaboration is a significant step towards a more competitive and innovative African business landscape.
Enhanced cybersecurity and access to advanced AI empower businesses of all sizes, across all industries, to thrive in the digital age.

He views it as a catalyst for Africa’s digital transformation, bringing responsible AI and economic opportunities to the continent.
