## How to read it

- Counts facilities listed by Cloudscene. They do not reflect a facility’s size, computing capacity or how much of it is used for AI.
- Countries in light grey have no data. No African country appears in Cloudscene’s 2025 data, which more likely reflects gaps in its directory than an absence of data centres.
- Gibraltar (2 data centres) is too small to draw at this map scale; it is listed in the data table.
