Moonshot by TechCabal returns to Lagos on October 28 and 29, 2026, at the National Theatre. The conference brings founders, investors, operators, regulators and technology leaders together to discuss where African technology is heading.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s theme is \u201cCourage & Conviction: Building for a New World.\u201d It reflects a shift in African tech. The focus is no longer only on raising money or launching fast. Founders now face tougher questions around revenue, trust, regulation, product quality and long-term growth.<\/p>\n
For Nigerian fintech founders, this matters.<\/p>\n
Nigeria has one of Africa\u2019s largest digital-payment markets. Yet building a financial product requires more than a good app. Users expect fast transactions, clear support, strong security and confidence that their money is safe. Regulators expect firms to meet compliance rules. Investors expect discipline and proof of a working business model.<\/p>\n
Moonshot 2026 addresses these issues through tracks focused on government and regulation, AI, investment, startup growth, commerce, climate technology and the future of money. The future-of-money track covers crypto, blockchain, digital payments, tokenisation and decentralised finance.<\/p>\n
The conference has also grown beyond a local Lagos event. Its 2025 edition brought together more than 5,700 participants, over 210 speakers and delegates from 39 countries. That scale gives Nigerian founders access to people who shape capital, partnerships and policy across Africa.<\/p>\n
For early-stage teams, the value is direct. A strong conversation at the right event can lead to a partnership, investor meeting, product insight or customer relationship. For established companies, it is a chance to test market narratives, meet regulators and show why their product deserves trust.<\/p>\n
The key lesson from Moonshot\u2019s theme is simple. African technology companies need conviction, but conviction must be backed by execution. Build products people use. Protect users. Understand regulation. Create reliable systems. Then tell the market what you are building and why it matters.<\/p>\n
Moonshot 2026 offers a useful meeting point for those conversations.<\/p>\n
