Yesterday was an inspiring day at the Zenith Tech Fair 5.0 (#FutureForward5.0) held at Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos.
The event brilliantly blended cutting-edge technology (AI, cybersecurity) with deep financial and banking insights from global industry leaders. Live demonstrations showcased emerging technologies, evolving cyber threats, and innovative solutions shaping the future of finance.
Highlights included thought-provoking sessions by:
- Sitoyo Lopokoiyit, MBS, CEO of M-PESA
- Jonas Kjellberg, Co-Creator of Skype
- Shivagami Gugan, Chief Technologist – Middle East, Turkey & Africa at Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Their perspectives on the convergence of finance, artificial intelligence, and the urgency of staying ahead of industry disruption were truly transformative.
The most engaging session for me was the after-event Cybersecurity Masterclass delivered by Check Point. Victor Ugwu provided a compelling breakdown of how advanced AI-powered security platforms can autonomously learn from historical attacks, simulate potential future threats, and proactively develop defense mechanisms — all in real time.
It’s intriguing to witness technology advancing at such an exponential pace. Truly, a remarkable time to be part of this digital revolution! 🚀
