Techinnovate Group, a leading Africa-focused digital advisory firm, has concluded a series of high-level engagements in Dubai, reinforcing its commitment to building secure, collaborative, and future-ready ecosystems for Africa’s financial services and digital economy sectors.
Led by CEO Samuel Ubido, the mission brought together senior executives from Nigeria’s banking industry, members of the Committee of e-Business Industry Heads (CeBIH), and representatives from public sector agencies including Nigeria’s National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) and the Ghana Cyber Security Authority.
The engagements were held across multiple venues, beginning with an executive roundtable hosted at Redington’s Dubai innovation hub. This closed-door session brought together executives from banks including FCMB, Zenith Bank, WEMA Bank, Access Bank, ProvidusBank, SunTrust, Lotus Bank, and the Central Bank of Nigeria, alongside CeBIH members. The discussion focused on advancing open banking, strengthening cybersecurity strategies within Nigeria’s financial system, and scaling digital trust frameworks to support the country’s fast-growing fintech ecosystem.
The session provided a rare convergence of private sector leadership and global innovation partners. Redington, AWS, and Darktrace contributed insights on cloud security, digital identity, and threat intelligence, sharing tools and frameworks applicable to the African market.
In parallel, a second strategic session brought together senior representatives from NITDA and the Ghana Cyber Security Authority to explore intergovernmental collaboration and regulatory alignment across West Africa.
This session explored capacity building, policy harmonisation, and the role of certification in enabling public sector digital transformation across the region. The engagement demonstrated Techinnovate Group’s ability to act as a neutral enabler, creating shared value for both government and industry partners across borders.

The delegation also participated in GISEC 2025, hosted at the Dubai World Trade Centre — the largest and most influential cybersecurity conference in the Middle East and Africa. Through its platform Africa Market Access, a Techinnovate Group portfolio company, Techinnovate served as the official African media and ecosystem partner for the event, ensuring that Africa’s voice was heard at a global level.
At GISEC, the delegation attended sessions on financial infrastructure protection, AI governance, digital trust, and public-private coordination, while also meeting global cybersecurity vendors and regulators. The presence of African stakeholders was recognised across multiple sessions of the Africa Programme, a curated track that focused on regional challenges and international cooperation.
The Dubai mission concluded with a courtesy visit to the Nigerian High Consulate, where discussions with consular officials centered on diaspora banking, eGovernance opportunities, and strengthening Nigeria’s digital economic diplomacy. The visit reinforced the growing alignment between industry-led initiatives and government-driven digital policy.
“This entire engagement is about building meaningful, long-term bridges between Africa and the rest of the world,” said Samuel Ubido. “Whether it’s a banker, a regulator, or a tech innovator — everyone has a role to play in strengthening digital trust and accelerating economic transformation. At Techinnovate, we exist to connect those dots.”
With programmes like Africa Market Access, Techinnovate Group continues to act as a strategic facilitator — connecting African stakeholders to global expertise, investment, and collaboration opportunities that drive real impact.
