Africa’s growing technology ecosystem will take center stage as the Africa Technology Expo (ATE) convenes innovators, enterprises, investors, and policymakers for a two-day technology and enterprise gathering, scheduled for June 26–27, 2026 at the National Theatre, Lagos.
The event comes at a time when Africa’s technology ecosystem is increasingly attracting global interests, particularly in areas such as digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence, connectivity, and enterprise software.
Positioned as an enterprise-focused platform, the Expo is designed to connect builders of Africa’s digital infrastructure with global stakeholders seeking opportunities within one of the world’s fastest-growing technology markets.
The 2026 edition is expected to host over 7,000 participants, including investors, enterprise leaders, policymakers, and technology operators from across Africa and international markets. Organisers say two-third of attendees are expected to be C-suite executives and senior decision-makers, while 60% represent businesses and enterprise organisations, reinforcing the event’s focus on meaningful business engagement and partnerships, and making it the event where Africa’s most powerful tech leaders convene.
The previous edition of the Expo had over 4,000 attendees from more than 15 countries, bringing together senior leaders across Africa’s technology and enterprise ecosystem.
The 2026 edition will spotlight the convergence of hardware innovation, connectivity infrastructure, and enterprise software, showcasing technologies that address real-world challenges, while enabling economic growth across the continent.
“Africa’s technology ecosystem is entering a phase where infrastructure, enterprise innovation, and global collaboration must converge to unlock the next wave of growth,” said Nnaemeka Clinton, CEO, Africa Technology Expo.
“The Expo is designed to bring together the operators building Africa’s technology future with the investors and partners needed to scale these solutions across the continent.”
Beyond keynote sessions and panel discussions, the event will feature a dynamic exhibition floor where companies will showcase innovations across areas such as robotics, Internet of Things (IoT), mobility technologies, and enterprise digital solutions.
A key highlight of the broader programme is the Doing Business in Africa (DBIA) Tour, a curated three-day experience hosted by Itana. The tour will provide operators, investors, and enterprise leaders with practical insights into Africa’s business landscape while creating early networking opportunities ahead of the main Expo.
The 2026 edition is supported by Breet, a digital asset platform focused on enabling secure cryptocurrency transactions across Africa.
Organisers say the Expo is designed to move beyond traditional conferences by creating an environment that encourages investment conversations, cross-border partnerships, and collaboration among technology leaders across Africa and the global innovation ecosystem.
By convening operators, enterprises, investors, and policymakers, Africa Technology Expo aims to strengthen Africa’s position as a global hub for technology innovation and enterprise collaboration.
