Zenith Bank Plc will host the sixth edition of its annual technology event, Tech Fair 2026, on November 5, with artificial intelligence (AI) taking centre stage.
The event, tagged Future Forward 6.0, will be held virtually for the first time under the theme, “AI: Embrace or Extinct,” allowing participants from Nigeria and beyond to join online.
The fair aims to bring together technology experts, entrepreneurs and young innovators to explore emerging technologies, showcase solutions and discuss AI’s growing impact on business and the future of work.
Conceived by the bank’s founder, Jim Ovia, the initiative also seeks to promote innovation among young Nigerians and support the development of technology-driven solutions to real-world challenges.
Previous winners include JumpnPass, a retail self-checkout solution, and CreditChek, which uses AI and open banking to streamline credit verification. At the 2025 edition, TrustLoop won the hackathon for its digital identity verification solution, while Cubbes Technologies won the startup pitch competition with an AI-powered learning platform.
The 2026 event will be streamed on Zoom, Instagram, X, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube.
