Tech Revolution Africa 2.0 organisers, the continent’s premier innovation gathering, announced that MTN has extended its partnership with the organisation as its headline sponsor.
MTN’s renewed partnership demonstrates its dedication to fostering innovation, developing young talent, and influencing Africa’s digital future.
MTN was also the main sponsor of the first Tech Revolution Africa in 2024, where its assistance produced a robust platform that stimulated important debates, encouraged teamwork, and established beneficial ties throughout Africa’s tech sector.
The Landmark Event Centre on Victoria Island in Lagos is the venue for the Big Bold Step, which is set for January 30–31, 2026.
