Data-Driven Innovation for Societal Impact

The Data-Driven Innovation for Societal Impact (DISI) Summit 2026 is a landmark national event bringing together researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, academics, and emerging talents from across Nigeria and the wider international community to engage in a national conversation on how data can inform innovation and policy to drive meaningful and lasting change for Nigeria's development.

Nigeria is experiencing unprecedented growth in technology, data science, and innovation, yet a significant gap remains between academic research, industry application, and policy implementation. The DISI Summit 2026 is designed to bridge that gap, convening the most eminent and forward-thinking voices across sectors to translate evidence into action and shape the future of Nigeria's development agenda.
