Zenith Bank's Tech Fair 2026 Focuses on Artificial Intelligence

Zenith Bank Plc will hold its sixth technology event, Zenith Bank Tech Fair 2026: Future Forward 6.0, on Thursday, 5 November 2026. This year’s theme is “AI: Embrace or Extinct.”

The Tech Fair is known for showcasing tech innovations. It has become a place where ideas, talent, and opportunities meet. Each year, the event gathers tech leaders, entrepreneurs, and young innovators to look at new technologies, show off solutions, and discuss the future of the digital economy.

Jim Ovia, the founder of Zenith Bank, started the Tech Fair with a vision. He wants to empower young Nigerians through technology and support inventors who can create solutions that matter globally. The event also shows Zenith Bank’s dedication to advancing digital technology and growing Nigeria’s tech scene.

The Tech Fair has already made an impact through its competitions. Past winners include JumpnPass, which created a self-checkout system for stores, and CreditChek, which uses AI and open banking to simplify credit checks. In 2025, TrustLoop won the hackathon with its digital identity verification solution. Cubbes Technologies took home the prize in the startup pitch competition for its AI-based EdTech platform. The Tech Fair provides millions in prizes and mentorship to help innovators tackle real-world problems.

This year, the Tech Fair will be held online for the first time. This change allows more people across Nigeria and beyond to join in. The theme for this year looks at how AI is changing the world. It encourages individuals and companies to think about how to make the most of AI in a tech-driven environment. Participants will have a chance to discover new innovations, gain insights, and discuss ideas that will shape the future of work and business.
