The session comes at a critical moment as Nigeria moves from digital ambition to execution, with AI adoption increasingly dependent on resilient infrastructure, trusted governance frameworks, and scalable platforms.
InnovateAI Conference Lagos 2026 focuses on moving beyond experimentation to real-world impact – how businesses, governments, and institutions can deploy AI responsibly to drive productivity, competitiveness, and inclusive growth. The event places strong emphasis on trust, data protection, infrastructure readiness, and the role of policy in enabling innovation at scale.
Speaking ahead of the event, Dotun Adeoye, Co-founder, AI in Nigeria said “If AI is influencing decisions, then governance must influence AI. Responsible AI is no longer optional; every company needs a clear AI policy to protect revenue, reputation, and regulatory standing.”

As Nigeria’s technology ecosystem matures, conversations are shifting from hype to hard questions of infrastructure, execution, and sustainability. InnovateAI Conference Lagos 2026 positions itself at that intersection – connecting policy, platforms, and practical deployment.
