Startups and businesses across Africa have been invited to showcase their innovations at the upcoming Lagos Startup Expo, scheduled for June 18–19, 2025, at the Landmark Centre, Victoria Island, organisers disclosed in a statement on Tuesday.
With the theme ‘Connect, Invest and Innovate’, the Lagos Startup Expo 2025 promises to bring together the brightest minds, boldest startups, and most influential investors for two days of discovery, networking, and opportunity.
The organisers described the event as the premier platform for businesses, startups, entrepreneurs, investors, and tech enthusiasts to connect, collaborate, and showcase the very best of African innovation.
The previous edition of the expo drew over 3,000 attendees and nearly 100 startups, with stories of new partnerships, product launches, and business growth echoing long after the event.
This year, the momentum is even greater, with about 200 startups and businesses from different regions expected to take centre stage.
Attendees will have a front-row seat to the latest breakthroughs in fintech, healthtech, agritech, logistics, artificial intelligence, and more.
Registered participants can expect a vibrant expo floor packed with live demos, product showcases, and real-time conversations with founders and industry professionals.
The event’s open, interactive format is designed to encourage genuine exchanges and build relationships that matter.
For those seeking an elevated experience, VIP passes will unlock exclusive access to masterclasses led by seasoned experts, as well as intimate networking sessions with top founders and investors.
The statement also confirmed that registration is ongoing, with both regular and VIP passes available.
Regular passes grant full access to the expo floor, networking opportunities, and all product showcases, while VIP passes offer an enhanced experience, including access to masterclasses and the investors’ lounge.
