PBAT Smart Nation Youth In Tech Festival 2026

​The PBAT Smart Nation Youth In Tech Festival 2026 brings young people together for a full day focused on technology, innovation, and the opportunities shaping Nigeria’s digital future. Organised by the PBAT Smart Nation Initiative & Support Group, the festival will take place at Lagos Television in Ikeja, Lagos.

​Designed to spotlight youth participation in technology, the event will create space to explore emerging ideas, learn from people working across the tech landscape, and consider how digital skills can support personal growth and national development. Attendees can expect a programme centred on knowledge-sharing, fresh perspectives, and practical inspiration.

​Hosted by Josh Audu, the festival will welcome young people, educators, professionals, organisations, and others interested in the role of technology in building a smarter, more inclusive society. It offers an opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and discover new pathways into the digital economy.

​Join us on December 16 at Shell Zenith Bank Hall, Muson Centre, Lagos for a day dedicated to the talent, ideas, and ambitions of Nigeria’s next generation of innovators.
