About Tech Convergence

As the official registry for the .ng country code Top-Level Domain (ccTLD), NiRA plays a pivotal role in strengthening Nigeria’s digital identity and internet infrastructure. In line with our mandate, we continue to champion local content development, digital inclusion, and the sustainable growth of Nigeria’s online ecosystem.

Tech Convergence is a flagship platform for fostering dialogue, building synergies, and advancing Nigeria’s position in the global digital economy. This initiative also aims to establish a comprehensive foundation for innovation within the DNS industry and other ecosystems.

Innovation

Discover technologies and emerging trends that highlight the power of Nigeria’s internet space to fuel digital transformation.

Connection

Fostering meaningful partnerships and collaborations that influence growth and unlock opportunities across Nigeria and beyond.

Growth

Strengthening Nigeria’s digital economy by scaling local solutions, encouraging adoption of the .ng domain, and positioning Nigeria as Africa’s digital hub.

Impact

Shaping actionable outcomes from conversations into policies, collaborations, and initiatives that leave lasting value for Nigeria’s digital future.

The Tech Convergence 2.0 is a gathering of key stakeholders in Nigeria's technology ecosystem, dedicated to charting a course for the nation's digital transformation. Building on the success of its predecessor, this second iteration will convene under the timely and critical theme: "Building Nigeria’s Digital Future: The Internet as a Catalyst for Growth." As Nigeria stands at a pivotal moment in its development, the internet has emerged as the most potent accelerator for economic diversification, innovation, and social inclusion. This event will serve as a high-level platform for robust discussions, strategic collaborations, and the formulation of actionable frameworks to harness the internet's full potential for national prosperity. With Tech Convergence 2.0, we go deeper. The goal is to position the Nigerian internet (powered by .ng) as the core enabler of a digital future for MSMEs, startups, creators, web professionals, and government. The event will shift focus from broad digital innovation to practical strategies for using the .ng domain, DNS infrastructure, and local internet tools to build growth-ready businesses and platforms.

Conference Theme 2025

"Building Nigeria’s Digital Future: The Internet as a Catalyst for Growth."

Tech Convergence 2.0 explores “Building Nigeria’s Digital Future: The Internet as a Catalyst for Growth.” The focus is on practical ways to use the .ng domain, DNS infrastructure, and local internet tools to empower businesses, startups, creators, and government for national prosperity.

Why This Theme Matters

The internet has become the heartbeat of our daily lives—powering how we shop, learn, work, govern, heal, and even create. It’s not just technology; it’s the bridge that connects people, ideas, and opportunities. At Tech Convergence 2.0, our theme “Building Nigeria’s Digital Future: The Internet as a Catalyst for Growth” shines a light on how the internet is helping Nigerians—whether it’s small businesses going online, young innovators building solutions, or enterprises scaling globally. With the .ng domain at the center, Nigeria’s digital future is set to be secure, inclusive, and proudly homegrown.

Economic Growth

The internet contributes to national Gross Domestic Profit (GDP) and drives growth across all sectors.

Innovation

It enables the creation of homegrown digital solutions for local and global challenges.

Digital Sovereignty

With .ng, Nigeria strengthens control, security, and ownership of its digital space.

Global Recognition

Rising internet penetration positions Nigeria as Africa’s leading digital hub.
