TECHIE IMPACT SUMMIT 3.0 AI FOR GOOD : SHAPING AFRICA

Techie Impact Summit 3.0 (TIS 3.0) is the third edition of the Techie Impact Summit, an annual technology and social impact platform convened by Bankable Wisdom to bring together the people shaping Africa’s digital future. Taking place on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in Lagos and online, this year’s Summit is themed “AI FOR GOOD: SHAPING AFRICA.”

The Summit is built around a simple but important question: How do we deliberately use artificial intelligence to create a better Africa?

As AI rapidly transforms education, employment, business, finance, healthcare, governance and everyday life, Africa has an opportunity to move beyond simply consuming technology and become an active participant in building, adapting and applying AI to its own realities. TIS 3.0 creates a space for that conversation.

The Summit will bring together technology founders, AI builders, entrepreneurs, developers, educators, policymakers, investors, corporate leaders, creatives, civil society organisations and young innovators for meaningful conversations, practical learning, demonstrations and ecosystem connections.

Rather than focusing on AI hype, TIS 3.0 is centred on real African problems and practical solutions. Participants will explore how AI can expand opportunity, improve productivity, strengthen institutions, create jobs, support businesses and address challenges that affect communities across the continent.

Key areas of conversation will include AI and the future of work, AI for education and skills development, AI entrepreneurship and funding, responsible and inclusive AI, AI for businesses and SMEs, digital inclusion, governance and policy, and the role of African innovators in shaping the global AI ecosystem.

The Summit will also create opportunities for participants to discover emerging technologies, engage with technology companies and ecosystem partners, connect with founders and builders, and learn from people working at the intersection of technology and impact.

TIS has evolved over the past three editions. TIS 1.0 explored Technology for Social Impact, asking how technology can help solve real problems.

TIS 2.0 examined Everything AI and Funding, focusing on the opportunities created by AI and the capital required to scale African innovation.

TIS 3.0 takes the conversation further by asking what Africa should intentionally use AI to accomplish.

The Summit is designed not only as an event, but as a platform for connection, learning, collaboration and action.

Whether you are an experienced technology professional, an entrepreneur building an AI-powered solution, a student exploring the future of work, an educator interested in AI, a policymaker shaping the digital economy, an investor looking for emerging opportunities, or simply someone curious about how AI will affect Africa, TIS 3.0 is designed for you.



Join us as we explore what it means to build an AI-powered future that is inclusive, responsible, practical and designed with Africa's realities and aspirations at its centre.
