On Tuesday, June 30, 2026, members of the American Chamber of Commerce, Ghana, visited the ACR2 Data Centre in Accra for an exclusive facility tour hosted by Digital Realty, a Gold Member of AmCham Ghana and one of the world’s leading data centre and colocation providers. The visit gave members a firsthand look at the infrastructure underpinning Ghana’s digital transformation, with Digital Realty’s team led by Mr. Joseph Koranteng, Managing Director, walking the group through ACR2’s carrier-neutral architecture, its direct connection to the 2Africa subsea cable system, and the five-layer security and redundant power systems that keep the facility running around the clock.

Beyond the facility tour, the conversation focused on a critical shift, digital infrastructure is no longer a back-end consideration, it is a strategic enabler of growth, compliance, and competitiveness. Laurie Kelleher of the U.S. Commercial Service at the U.S. Embassy Accra noted that ACR2 is not just a building but a gateway, plugging Ghanaian businesses directly into the global interconnected fabric that powers commerce and innovation across continents, and that investments like this are precisely the foundation on which Ghana’s National AI Strategy must be built.

Our CEO, Doris Kafui Afanyedey, closed the remarks by framing the tour as an act of informed advocacy. “What we saw today is exactly the kind of access we need, not just to understand the infrastructure, but to understand what it enables. What Digital Realty has built here is a complete example of the intersection of U.S. investment and Ghana’s growth agenda.” She called on members to carry the conversation forward and committed AmCham Ghana to protecting and expanding the conditions that make this level of investment possible.

AmCham Ghana thanks Digital Realty for hosting the membership at ACR2, and to all members who joined, including representation from IBM Ghana, United Airlines, Endeavor Energy, KPMG, Ntrakwah and Co, Multitread, Acadia (Tampico), and Templars. As data localisation, connectivity, and cloud adoption accelerate, ACR2 stands ready to give businesses in Ghana a scalable, secure, and globally connected foundation to grow. We look forward to continuing the dialogue as Ghana’s digital ecosystem evolves.
