Dear GDG Community,
This message is for those who are passionate about Deep Tech.
We understand the challenge: you are building foundational technology—whether it’s in computing, biotech, advanced robotics, or AI—but the ideal platform to share your technical breakthrough with a truly pan-African, cross-disciplinary audience remains elusive.
If this is you, then we cordially invite you to submit your session proposal for the Africa Deep Tech Conference 2026 in Lagos, Nigeria.
This is a premier convening built for and around African innovators to accelerate frontier technology across the continent. It’s an opportunity to connect directly with your peers, founders, funders, and policymakers from diverse deep tech fields.
What We Seek: Technical Depth, Not Marketing
The goal is to foster genuine technical exchange. We are looking for high-quality, technically rigorous sessions that explicitly address Africa’s context, constraints, affordability, and energy realities.
Your session must communicate:
Technical depth and teaching value.
Originality (research-based, prototype-based, or lab-based).
Relevance to Africa’s unique challenges.
Please Note: Sessions must focus on concepts and methods, not company pitches or marketing content.
Key Details & Call to Action
If you are an engineer, researcher, founder, or student with a breakthrough idea ready to be shared, this is your platform.
Event Dates: February 24 – 27, 2026
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Speaker Status: Complimentary registration (Free for speakers)
The Call for Papers (CFP) is Open, but the Deadline is Fast Approaching!
CFP Closes: December 22, 2025 (W. Central Africa Standard Time)
Seize this opportunity to shape the narrative of African Deep Tech. We look forward to reviewing your groundbreaking work.
