Read storyTechCon Anambra documents the people, businesses and institutions shaping Anambra's digital economy through stories, research, insights and our annual flagship gathering.
You cannot coordinate what you do not understand. The report starts by mapping who makes up Anambra’s digital economy, including talent, education, businesses, capital, infrastructure and support organisations, then examines what is working, where the gaps are, and where focused action could help. Findings are checked with stakeholders before priorities are set, so the agenda reflects experience as well as data.
STATE OF ANAMBRA'S DIGITAL ECONOMY
The digital economy is more than startups. It is the network of people and institutions creating opportunity across Anambra.
Public institutions shaping policy, infrastructure and digital services.
Companies and employers driving digital adoption and economic activity.
Developers, designers, data professionals and digital workers.
Institutions producing research, talent and innovation.
Investors, funds and financial infrastructure supporting growth.
Groups and networks connecting people around shared interests.
Connectivity, power, data centres and physical foundations.
Startups, platforms and tools being built and deployed.
Traditional sectors adopting digital systems and processes.
Every part of the day serves the same test: what does this add to our understanding, coordination or progress? The gathering moves from evidence to action in a single day.

You do the practical work as an engineer, designer, analyst, creator or operator. Come and meet the people hiring.
You teach or study for what comes next. Come and close the gap between classroom and workplace.
You fund and support digital growth. Come and see where your backing could move the needle.
You run the hubs, communities and networks people rely on. Come and connect your members to the wider plan.
You keep connectivity, cloud and payments running. Come and hear what the economy needs from your rails.
TechCon Anambra 2027 is the annual flagship gathering where the ecosystem assembles to share evidence, work through priorities, showcase what is already being built, and form working groups for the year ahead.
Partnership is how organisations help make TechCon possible: the gathering, the research and the work between editions. If your organisation would like to support that long-term effort, we would like to hear from you. Conversations for 2027 are now open.
