By Nigeria’s digital infrastructure ecosystem in Lagos is converging for the IoT West Africa, Power & Water Nigeria, and Data Centre & Cloud Expo Africa for their fifth edition.
Indeed, the country is in the middle of one of the fastest digital infrastructure expansions on the continent. Microsoft, Google, and AWS are committing to African cloud regions. MTN and Airtel are at the forefront of advancing telecom infrastructure. The Rural Electrification Agency is rewiring the country’s power base. And enterprise AI adoption is accelerating across banking, logistics, and public services.
The IoT West Africa holds its place as the longest-running IoT and digital infrastructure event on the continent and the platform that has tracked, shaped, and accelerated West Africa’s technology story from its earliest chapters.
The three-day platform spans AI, cloud, telecoms, IoT, smart infrastructure, fintech, renewable energy, hyperscale data centers, and power generation. Critical infrastructure sits at the heart of this year’s agenda: from the security and resilience of national power grids to the fiber networks, subsea cables, and edge computing nodes that underpin Nigeria’s digital economy. This is the event where that conversation happens at the highest level.
It is the only event in West Africa where a hyperscale operator, a rural electrification agency, a 5G network operator, and a sovereign AI policymaker share the same stage and the same room.
The event announces a strategic partnership with the Africa Data Centres Association (ADCA), bringing the continent’s foremost data center industry body into the program to shape conversations around investment, connectivity, and cross-border infrastructure development.
Confirmed speakers include Dr. Abba Aliyu, MD/CEO of the Rural Electrification Agency; Dr. Emomotimi John Agama, Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission Nigeria; Christopher Ezeafulukwe, MD/CEO of Transcorp Energy; Wole Abu, MD, Equinix; and Ina Alogwu, Chief Digital & Information Officer, T2 Mobile, alongside dozens of global industry leaders.
The platform brings together 5,000+ decision-makers, including CIOs, CTOs, investors, regulators, and hyperscale operators, with exhibitors including Itel Energy, Vertiv, and Jubaili Bros. An exclusive VIP lounge, a startup pitch session, and a live podcast series complete the program.
