Africa’s digital economy is experiencing an unprecedented boom, with Nigeria alone racing toward an estimated $18.3 billion market value by 2026. Recognizing the critical need to protect this phenomenal growth, leading indigenous technological agencies—including NITDA, NDPC, and Galaxy Backbone—are uniting to champion CyFrica 2026. This premier cybersecurity summit highlights a continent taking absolute ownership of its digital destiny.

By fostering collaboration between tech innovators, policymakers, and private enterprises, African nations are proactively building fortified digital ecosystems.
