Scheduled for June 26 and 27, 2026, the expo will be held at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts in Lagos. Organisers say this year’s edition will run in an expanded two-day format focused on enterprise technology, digital infrastructure, hardware innovation, and cross-border partnerships.
Lagos Hosts Enterprise Tech Leaders
The Africa Technology Expo, widely known as ATE, has positioned itself as one of the continent’s leading enterprise-focused technology gatherings. According to the organisers, the event will bring together multinational firms, startups, regulators, telecom operators, investors, and senior executives exploring opportunities across Africa’s digital economy.
This year’s event will place strong attention on what organisers describe as the “hard tech frontier”, including robotics, electric vehicles, smart infrastructure, enterprise software, cloud systems, cybersecurity, blockchain, fintech, and industrial innovation.
More than 100 companies are expected to exhibit solutions and products during the expo, with organisers promising networking sessions, executive roundtables, live showcases, workshops, and keynote discussions.
Focus on Infrastructure and Innovation
Organisers say the expo aims to connect African innovators with global stakeholders looking to invest in the continent’s growing technology market. The event is expected to attract participants from sectors including oil and gas, mobility, agriculture, telecommunications, finance, and smart city development.
Several business and technology executives have already been announced as speakers and participants. They include leaders from companies such as Ericsson, Microsoft, Zoho Africa, Jumia Nigeria, and Equinix West Africa.
The organisers also noted that the event will feature exhibition zones tailored for enterprise networking and business development. Sponsors and exhibitors are expected to use the platform to secure partnerships, attract clients, and explore investment opportunities within Africa’s expanding tech ecosystem.
Ticket Sales and Industry Interest Grow
Tickets for the expo are currently on sale, with multiple access categories available for exhibitors, delegates, media professionals, and enterprise executives. Organisers stated that the event is open to professionals actively engaged in business in Africa.
Interest around the expo has continued to rise ahead of the event, especially as Lagos strengthens its reputation as one of Africa’s leading technology and startup hubs. Industry observers believe gatherings such as ATE could deepen conversations around innovation, infrastructure investment, and regional collaboration.
Organisers describe the event as a platform where “tech business happens”, bringing together decision-makers shaping Africa’s digital future.
