Alibaba Cloud builds Olympic cloud for Dakar 2026 Youth Games, to pass to Senegal
Overview
Alibaba Cloud provided cloud computing and AI support for the 2026 Dakar Youth Olympic Games in Senegal, which opened on October 31, 2026.
It built an Olympic-dedicated cloud that runs the event's ticketing, registration and schedule systems, according to Leiphone (雷峰网).
After the Games end, Alibaba Cloud will hand the whole cloud to Senegal to operate as a national cloud platform, the report says. The company will do so to continue supporting the country's digital transformation.
The report also says Alibaba Cloud's international dedicated-cloud business nearly doubled in the first half of the year. That business is under 5% of the company's overall business but takes close to 50% of the division's resources.
