What is Arewa Tech Fest?
Arewa Tech Fest is Northern Nigeria's largest tech and innovation festival — a platform bringing together tech founders, government leaders, researchers, and financial institutions to accelerate innovation from and for the region. It launched in Kano in 2024 and held its second edition in Katsina in 2025.
What is the Lagos edition?
It's the first time Arewa Tech Fest is being held outside Northern Nigeria — bringing the same mission, format, and community to Lagos, the country's largest tech and investment hub, to connect Northern innovation with national capital and opportunity.
When and where is the Lagos edition taking place?
October 21–22, 2026, at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos. Doors open at 10am both days.
Who should attend?
The event is built around four core audiences: tech founders/builders, government leaders, researchers, and financial institutions. It's open to anyone invested in Nigeria's tech and innovation future.
