This year’s event with the theme “What’s Africa’s Next
Wave?” will focus on the future of Africa’s technology industry.
Speaking about the last edition of #YTech100, Obi Asika,
Chairman of Social Media Week Lagos, described it as one of the best events of
Social Media Week 2014, "the event played a central role in bringing
together and celebrating the giants and players that power social media and
that is why the event had to be brought back this year".
Isime Esene, Associate Editor of YNaija, while talking
about the need for the event, said “the outstanding contributions of these
individuals to Nigeria’s technology industry have made it imperative for us to
give them the recognition they deserve”.
The #YTech100 is hosted by Y!/YNaija.com and presented by
Ndani TV’s digits is an annual cocktail and networking event honoring the
brightest and best in Nigeria’s technology eco-system.
In the past, honorees have ranged from industry leaders
like Jason Njoku of iROKOtv and Sim Shagaya of Konga, to emerging visionaries
like Opeyemi Awoyemi of Jobberman and Bosun Tijani of Co-Creation Hub, among
others.
The honorees at this year’s event will feature tech
innovators from Education, E-Commerce, Enterprise, amongst other areas. They
were chosen after careful considerations by the brilliant team at
