Apex Network Active At The #LagosTechFest2025 As Top Fintech Exhibitor.
Lagos Tech Fest is an annual gathering of players across various verticals of our tech ecosystem, providing industry players with an opportunity to define the ecosystem’s future, showcase new solutions, foster strategic collaboration, and promote innovation.
This was the 5th edition, and it happened at the landmark event center, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The main panel discussion about crypto in Nigeria: Fintech integration, real-world application, and opportunities had industry experts proffer solutions to most of the problems fintech organizations are currently experiencing.
The discussion further highlighted how crypto can enhance financial services, drive innovation, and expand access to seamless digital transactions. Panelists delved into strategies for making crypto and cross-border payments more efficient, addressing key challenges with crypto adoption as well as best practices for securing crypto assets.
“Being part of Lagos Tech Fest 2025 was an exciting and meaningful experience. Sitting alongside industry leaders, we explored a topic that is critical to Nigeria’s tech ecosystem—how we can truly bet big on homegrown talent.
One of the most thought-provoking moments of the session was when a question was raised about integrating tech education into our university curriculum. Everyone on the panel agreed—it’s not just an option; it’s a necessity.
The demand for digital skills is skyrocketing, yet many graduates enter the workforce without the technical expertise needed to compete. Bridging this gap through structured education reforms, hands-on learning, and industry collaboration is something we all look forward to seeing happen.” - Olawale Samuel (Founder Axia Africa)
The startup stage brought together industry experts like Omoruyi ‘uyilaw’ Edoigiawerie, Aisha Salaudeen, Dapo Salami and Omolara Dada, who shared their expertise on ‘Startup Launchpad: From idea to Impact: Laying a Pathway to Growth, Scale & Security.’
The session gave founders essential insights on building, scaling, and securing their startups in today’s competitive landscape. The discussion dove deep into growth and customer acquisition techniques, including brand positioning, legal structuring, PR strategy, and equipping founders with techniques to build a strong market presence and drive sustainable growth and traction in Nigeria.
Lagos Tech Fest 2025 wasn’t just another conference for us at Apex Network; it was a melting pot of ideas, innovation, and interesting conversations that will continue to foster the growth of the tech ecosystem across Nigeria and Africa. From thought-provoking panel sessions to groundbreaking showcases, the event brought together industry leaders, startups, and tech enthusiasts, all shaping the future of technology.
