Africa Technology Expo (ATE), often described by participants as The CES of Africa, has announced its transition into a two-day enterprise-focused platform, scheduled to take place on June 26th and 27th, 2026, in Lagos.
The event brings together decision-makers, senior executives, regulators, and technology professionals to do business and explore the future of Africa’s digital and technology business landscape.
The Expo builds on the success of its previous editions, which have established the platform as a premier meeting ground for high-value networking and transnational partnerships, facilitating an estimated $198 million in partnerships, investment conversations, and memoranda of understanding, according to organisers.
Founded to bridge Africa’s growing hardware and infrastructure innovation ecosystem with global markets, the Africa Technology Expo has rapidly grown into a leading venue for the commercialization of robotics, drone technology, and next-generation connectivity.
Speaking ahead of the 2026 edition, the CEO of ATE, Nnaemeka Clinton, expressed his excitement about the event’s expansion.
“The evolution of ATE into a two-day format reflects the increasing complexity and scale of the African tech ecosystem,” he says. “We are excited to welcome stakeholders to this expanded edition and look forward to delivering a strategic infrastructure that moves beyond a traditional showcase, to create real outcomes and partnerships shaping the continent’s future.”
What to expect at Africa Technology Expo
The 2026 edition will feature an expanded program designed to facilitate deeper engagement across the technology and policy ecosystem. Attendees can expect:
● The Hardware Frontier: Dedicated exhibitions showcasing robotics, IoT, and smart hardware solutions.
