In 2025, we catalyzed digital transformation. In 2026, we are taking our solutions to the world. Akwa Ibom Tech Week (AKTW2026) is more than a conference, it is a launchpad.
Our focus is clear: empowering Akwa Ibom’s homegrown startups to scale beyond borders, optimizing our ecosystem for international investment, and positioning our talent as global leaders in the digital economy. From the serene hills of Uyo to the bustling tech hubs of Silicon Valley and London, we are scaling the frontier.
When you step into AKTW2026, you aren't just attending a conference, you are entering an ecosystem designed for growth.
Engage in high-level keynotes and panels featuring Africa’s tech giants and global industry leaders.
The stage is set for the brightest startups to pitch live to the Ibom Angel Network for seed funding and mentorship.
Witness the unveiling of tech solutions designed to solve local problems with global scalability.
Premium networking at its finest. Close deals and build relationships on a world-class 18-hole course.
The ultimate gathering for developers and the traditional grand finale, celebrating code, community, and the future of engineering.
Last year, we proved that Akwa Ibom is a powerhouse of digital transformation. The momentum from 2025 is the fuel for our 2026 global vision.
