In a bold move that signals Africa’s rising profile in cloud technology, MTN Group has emerged as the leading telco in Microsoft Azure certifications on the continent for 2025. This achievement places the telecom giant at the forefront of digital transformation, particularly in cloud computing, cybersecurity, and enterprise services across Africa.
The certification push, done in partnership with Microsoft, equips MTN’s workforce with advanced Azure skills — from infrastructure and DevOps to AI and data analytics. This strategic upskilling positions MTN to offer more robust and secure cloud-based solutions to businesses, governments, and startups across the continent.
With Africa’s cloud adoption gaining momentum, MTN’s leadership in Azure certifications signals a larger trend: local companies are not just consuming tech — they’re becoming capable providers and innovators in the digital ecosystem. As more sectors move their operations online, this development strengthens the continent’s tech resilience, reduces dependency on foreign expertise, and fuels digital growth from within.
