After over a decade of active participation in prestigious global technology event, the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX) in Dubai, UAE, and similar platform in Marrakech, Morocco, in Berlin, Germany —an initiative originally championed by the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Nigeria has taken a bold step forward organising the event in the country.
On Monday, the nation proudly inaugurated its own international technology exhibition in Abuja, marking a significant milestone in its digital transformation journey. This landmark event brings together a dynamic mix of government officials, policy makers, investors, and startups, all united by a shared vision to drive innovation, foster collaboration, and position Nigeria as a leading tech hub in Africa.
The event not only reflects Nigeria’s growing influence in the global tech ecosystem but also underscores its commitment to nurturing homegrown solutions and attracting international partnerships.
