Building Africa’s Digital Future: AfriTECH 6.0 Returns with Focus on Trillion-Dollar Opportunity

The Africa Tech Alliance Forum, a leading platform for digital economy discussions across the continent, is returning for its sixth edition on Thursday, November 13, 2026, at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos. This year’s event, themed “The Next $1 Trillion Opportunity: Building Africa Through Technology,” aims to address how African nations can convert their digital promise into tangible economic reality.

The forum will also feature the Africa Tech Alliance Excellence Awards (ATAEx), recognizing outstanding achievements in technology, fintech, telecoms, and related sectors. ATAEx has established itself as one of Africa’s most credible tech recognition frameworks, emphasizing peer evaluation over commercial interests.

Addressing Key Challenges

Despite attracting billions in investment and producing multiple unicorns, Africa’s digital economy faces infrastructure gaps, regulatory fragmentation, and capital access constraints. AfriTECH 6.0 is designed to bridge these divides through direct dialogue between policymakers, investors, and tech builders—creating a space where actionable solutions can emerge.

“For five years, AfriTECH has been the place where meaningful conversations happen,” said Chike Onwuegbuchi, Co-Convener of the Africa Tech Alliance Forum. “We’re raising our ambition with this edition, challenging everyone in attendance to help define how we’ll achieve Africa’s next trillion dollars—with precision and actionable plans.”

Who Should Attend?

The forum draws a curated audience including:

• C-suite executives from banking, fintech, telecom, and technology companies
• Policymakers and regulators shaping digital infrastructure
• Venture capitalists and investors active in African tech markets
• Founders at all stages of growth
• Press and industry analysts covering Africa’s digital economy

AfriTECH 6.0 is co-convened by the Africa Tech Alliance Forum and the TechCastle Foundation, with media support from Techeconomy, Nigeria’s leading digital economy publication.
