Lagos, Nigeria — On March 26, 2026, Africa’s most ambitious innovators, investors, founders, and industry leaders will gather at the prestigious Oriental Hotel for Tech Unite Africa 5.0 — a landmark 5th edition that promises not only powerful conversations, but global opportunity and unforgettable experiences.
This year’s edition uniquely integrates:
- Startup World Cup Nigeria
- TIRA – Tech Innovation Recognition and Awards
- Tech Unite After Dark
From boardroom brilliance to red-carpet celebration, Tech Unite Africa 5.0 is where Africa’s digital economy comes alive.
Where Local Innovation Meets Global Capital – Startup World Cup Nigeria.
Tech Unite Africa has evolved into one of the continent’s most influential innovation platforms — uniting policymakers, corporates, startups, developers, creatives, and investors under one bold vision: Africa will lead the future of technology.
At the heart of this years’ experience is Startup World Cup Nigeria, offering selected startups the opportunity to pitch for a place at the global grand finale in San Francisco, United States, and compete for a $1 million investment prize.
This is more than exposure.
It is access.
It is acceleration.
It is global positioning.
Honoring Excellence: TIRA Awards
Tech Unite Africa will host the TIRA – Tech Innovation Recognition and Awards, a prestigious recognition platform celebrating visionary founders, disruptive startups, ecosystem leaders, and institutions driving measurable impact across Africa’s technology landscape.
TIRA is not just an award ceremony — it is recognition of courage, creativity, and continental excellence.
It honors those building the infrastructure of Africa’s digital tomorrow.
Tech Unite After Dark: Where Business Meets Experience
When the panels close and the pitches conclude, the energy does not stop.
Tech Unite After Dark transforms the summit into an elevated networking and lifestyle experience — featuring curated entertainment, music, immersive brand activations, premium networking lounges, and a vibrant social atmosphere designed for authentic connections.
Because the most powerful partnerships are often formed after the spotlight fades.
Innovation by day.
Celebration by night.
Connection at every moment.
