Our Impact
I’ve attended tech events in Berlin, Nairobi, and Cape Town, but SET felt different. It centered Nigerian innovation without compromise and created space for honest conversations about infrastructure, funding, and policy. It wasn’t just informative, it was deeply energizing.
— Samira Bello, Lead Consultant, NovaTech Global Advisory
I came in as a keynote speaker, but left as a student. The sessions on edge computing, quantum applications, and AI ethics were outstanding. SET attracted the kind of crowd that doesn’t just talk innovation, they live it. I’ll be back next year, no question.
— Jide Abubakar, Founder, LayerOne Labs
The matchmaking feature at SET was a game-changer. I had three meetings scheduled before even stepping into the venue, and two of them turned into pilot agreements for our payment infrastructure. It’s rare to find an event that delivers so much value, so quickly.
— Linda Esom, Partnerships Director, Qrate Fintech
It was humbling to be part of a youth panel where our ideas weren’t just tokenized, they were taken seriously. SET created a platform where students and young entrepreneurs could engage directly with top innovators and decision-makers. I left the event with mentorship offers, internship leads, and a whole new sense of confidence.
— Mayowa Ajani, Final Year Student, Obafemi Awolowo University
SET gave me the platform to present my AI research to an audience I never thought I’d reach. I connected with industry leaders, policymakers, and fellow researchers, many of whom I now collaborate with. The exposure and credibility from that one experience opened doors to international research funding and mentorship opportunities.
— Dr. Kelechi Onuoha, Research Fellow, Centre for Data & Society
What I appreciated most about SET was how practical it was. This wasn’t a place for tech hype or surface-level conversations. It was a serious space for founders, engineers, and investors to talk about real-world solutions and industry shifts. I walked away with clarity, three new clients, and a stronger roadmap for our product.
— Tosin Ajibade, Product Manager, BitCircuit
As a first-time exhibitor, SET 2025 completely exceeded our expectations. We showcased our agri-drone system and had everyone from policymakers to procurement leads stop by our stand. We left the event with three high-value partnership conversations and over 150 new leads. The level of professionalism was top-tier.
— Ivie Ogbeide, Co-Founder, Agrinode Technologies
SET helped our university bridge the gap between academic research and market-ready innovation. Our students shared stage space with top tech executives, an experience they’ll never forget. It’s not just about visibility; it’s about building a culture of innovation that values local knowledge and technical excellence.
— Prof. Musa Garba, Dean of Engineering, Kaduna Tech University
