The EdTech Indaba 2026 will hold on 3rd October 2026 in Aba, Abia State, bringing educators, school leaders, technology experts, policymakers, innovators, and edtech founders together to discuss the use of technology and artificial intelligence in education.
The summit will begin at 9:00 a.m. at Nobik International Event Center, 7UP Close, Ogbor-Hill, Aba. This year’s theme is “Transforming Learning for the AI Era.”
What Will Happen at the Event?
The summit will feature panels, workshops, and discussions around the use of technology in education. The organisers say the event is designed to bring different parts of the education and technology sectors into the same room.
The event will also include a Startup Showcase for edtech founders. Selected startups will have an opportunity to pitch their products to educators, investors, partners, sponsors, and school leaders.
This makes the event relevant beyond education professionals. Founders building learning platforms, AI tools, school-management software, digital learning products, and other education technologies can use the event to demonstrate what they are building and meet potential users or partners.
The organisers have invited educators, edtech enthusiasts, school administrators, students, innovators, policymakers, and other people interested in technology and education.
The event is also relevant to founders and technology professionals working on products for schools, teachers, students, and education institutions.
Why Does It Matter to South-East Builders?
AI is changing how software products are developed and how digital services are delivered. Education is one area where these changes could affect teaching, assessment, school administration, learning materials, and access to educational resources.
For South-East founders, the event provides a local opportunity to meet people who understand the education market without having to travel outside the region. The Startup Showcase also gives edtech businesses a chance to put their products in front of potential customers and partners rather than relying only on online promotion.
