From Problems

to Products

14th & 15th October 2026
Lagos, Nigeria

Africa is not lacking problems.

We’re surrounded by WICKED problems, worth solving every single day. What we need are more builders bold enough to turn those problems into products that actually work for us.

Building in Africa is not easy. You already know the issues; on again off again power, inconsistent connectivity, broken infrastructure, policy and legislation that struggle to keep up, and not enough capital where it’s needed most.

The road from discovering a problem to creating a product people truly love takes grit, creativity, resilience and community. But make no mistake, young Africans across the continent, are already doing it, building fintech apps, health solutions, logistics platforms, creator tools, AI products and everyday innovations solving real African problems - and doing it well.

From Problems to Products is a call to action for a new generation of African innovators — founders, creators, product people, designers, engineers and entrepreneurs who are tired of waiting for solutions from somewhere else.

Because the future of Africa will not be imported. It will be built here, by us, for us.

The road no straight. But we dey move.

Join us!

Bringing together thought leaders, technologists, and product professionals from around the world to share knowledge, showcase emerging trends, and connect with Africa’s dynamic product community. From practical insights on building products for diverse markets, this event will inspire and equip you to shape the future of technology on the continent.

Networking opportunities and tech exhibitions are included.
