Leading commercial law firm, Duale, Ovia & Alex-Adedipe (DOA), is set to host the 4th edition of its flagship Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) Business Series on Thursday, 5th June 2025, in Lagos State, Nigeria.
This year's event, themed "Beyond the Startup Frenzy: Building the Infrastructure for a Digital Nigeria," marks a strategic pivot in the national discourse, from early-stage enthusiasm and venture capital buzz to the foundational policies, systems and investments required to build a resilient, scalable and future-ready digital economy.
Now firmly established as one of the most anticipated gatherings of stakeholders in Nigeria's innovation ecosystem, the TMT Business Series convenes regulators, investors, founders, creatives, legal experts, product leaders and policymakers for dialogue at the intersection of technology, regulation, investment and growth.
"Technology is no longer emerging, it is embedded," said Adeleke Alex-Adedipe, Managing Partner at DOA. "This year, we're moving the conversation beyond funding rounds and MVPs to interrogate what it truly takes to build digital infrastructure that works for everyone from broadband and cloud to regulation and commercial models."
Key Highlights of the 2025 Edition Include:
- Keynote Address: Delivered by the Honourable Minister of the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, addressing the national digital policy agenda, infrastructure expansion and Nigeria's global competitiveness.
- Fireside Chat: An in-depth, unscripted conversation with the Minister on the bold shifts needed to accelerate sustainable digital growth.
- Panel 1: "Tech Profitability Playbook –
Who's Really Winning?"
This session explores the business models, policy frameworks and market realities behind sustainable tech ventures. Stakeholders will examine which sectors are profitable, what monetization strategies are working and where the real economic value lies. - Panel 2: "Innovation & Regulation –
Finding Common Ground"
With innovation often outpacing legislation, this panel brings regulators and innovators together to reimagine what smart, enabling regulation can look like in a fast-evolving digital landscape. - Regulatory Clinic
On the sidelines, attendees will have access to specialised advisory clinics on data protection, IP and compliance, hosted by experienced subject matter experts. - Pitch Competition: "The Next Big
Bet – Scale. Build. Sustain."
This debut segment of the Series will spotlight early-stage, high-impact startups solving real-world challenges across AI, fintech, digital infrastructure, content and more. Finalists will pitch live to a panel of top investors and ecosystem leaders for a chance to win cash prizes, mentorship and industry exposure.
