Africa’s technology sector is witnessing a surge of innovation, and women are at the heart of this transformation. The upcoming Tech Women Fest, organized by NezaTech Africa, is scheduled to take place on October 11, 2025, at Solution Arena, Onipanu, Lagos, Nigeria.
The event aims to spotlight these trailblazers while creating a platform for collaboration, networking, and inspiration across the continent.
Billed as Africa’s premier women-in-tech conference, the event builds on the success of its previous edition, which drew hundreds of participants from across the continent. That gathering sparked new collaborations, mentorship opportunities, and lasting partnerships, setting the stage for an even more impactful experience this year.
“Women are not only participating in Africa’s tech ecosystem, they are shaping it,” said Funmilayo Odewunmi, a Lagos-based entrepreneur. “Tech Women Fest matters because it amplifies our voices and positions our innovations as essential to the continent’s progress.”
At the heart of the festival is its founder, Oluwatoyin Abioye, who envisioned Tech Women Fest as more than a conference. “This is a space where women in technology feel seen, valued, and empowered to lead boldly,” she said. “Every story shared here is a reminder that our collective strength is what will drive Africa’s digital future.”
The festival will bring together innovators, investors, and stakeholders with a shared goal of advancing Africa’s digital economy. Participants can expect thought-provoking discussions on the latest developments in the tech ecosystem, alongside interactive sessions that encourage collaboration and problem-solving.
For many attendees, the festival is as much about community as it is about knowledge. “It is not just about learning, it is about building networks that last,” said Chiamaka Eze, a product manager and mentor. “When women come together in spaces like this, they create partnerships that often extend beyond the event.”
Africa’s tech industry continues to expand rapidly, driven by a youthful population and increasing digital adoption. However, challenges such as access to funding and leadership representation remain significant hurdles for women. Tech Women Fest seeks to address these gaps by providing a stage where women’s expertise, creativity, and leadership are recognized and celebrated.
With its emphasis on collaboration, empowerment, and actionable insights, the event is positioned as more than just a conference. It is a rallying point for women shaping Africa’s digital future and a call to action for the wider ecosystem to embrace inclusivity as a driver of innovation.
