Akwa Ibom is buzzing with anticipation as the countdown officially begins for Akwa Ibom Tech Week (AKTW) 2025, a landmark event poised to revolutionize the state’s burgeoning technology landscape. Scheduled to take place from November 3 to 8 in Uyo, AKTW 2025 aims to champion digital transformation, attract vital investments, and spark significant socio-economic growth across Akwa Ibom.

Organised by the Ibom Innovation Network LTD/GTE, AKTW 2025 is driven by a deep belief in the immense, untapped potential of Akwa Ibom’s youth and its vibrant spirit of innovation, according to the President, Ibom Innovation Network Hanson Johnson.

“We recognised the critical need for a platform that could not only showcase this talent but also connect it with the resources, knowledge, and opportunities required to truly flourish,” Johnson stated. He emphasised that the core goals of AKTW 2025 are to accelerate digital transformation across all sectors, draw substantial investment into the tech ecosystem, and generate tangible socio-economic impact through job creation, skills development, and groundbreaking innovation.

Johnson shared his ambitious vision for Akwa Ibom: to evolve into a significant producer and exporter of digital solutions, rather than merely a consumer of technology.

He highlighted that Akwa Ibom Tech Week perfectly aligns with the state government’s progressive ARISE Agenda, particularly its focus on digital services, enterprise development, and human capital development.
