Nigeria’s Tech Industry Attracts Over Two Billion Dollars in Investment While Facing Local Funding and Sustainability Challenges

Nigeria’s tech industry has been on an impressive growth streak, pulling in over $2 billion in investment from 2015 to 2022.

That’s huge! Yet, despite this success, many startups still struggle to tap into local funding sources.

Plus, there’s a growing need to adopt more sustainable, eco-friendly tech solutions to keep the momentum going responsibly.

Techpreneur Summit 2025 Is Here to Shake Things Up

Enter the Techpreneur Summit 2025, themed CTRL-SHIFT—a vibrant gathering designed to bring together all the key players in Nigeria’s tech ecosystem.

The summit’s main goal? To spark innovation and foster collaboration by connecting promising Nigerian tech startups with much-needed capital from both local and global investors.

Spotlight on Sustainability with the Eco-Innovation Challenge

One exciting feature of this year’s summit is the Eco-Innovation Challenge.

This contest invites tech innovators to submit sustainable solutions through social media, boosting their visibility and support.

It also aligns perfectly with the Development Bank of Nigeria’s (DBN) new AMPLIFI strategy, which aims to spotlight and grow impactful tech initiatives across the country.

Building Bridges Between Innovators and Investors

The summit is more than just a conference. It’s a real opportunity for entrepreneurs, government reps, investors, and industry experts to network, collaborate, and push forward investor-ready innovations.

By fostering these connections, the event hopes to close the funding gap and accelerate sustainable growth across Nigeria’s tech landscape.
