Interswitch, one of Africa’s leading integrated payments and digital commerce companies, played a pivotal role at the inaugural Delta Tech Week 2025, the flagship innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship festival organised by the Delta State Government through its Ministry of Science and Technology.
A statement from the firm on Wednesday stated that the five-day event, held in Asaba recently, attracted startups, corporates, academia, investors, developers, and ecosystem enablers from across Nigeria.
As a sponsor of the festival, Interswitch delivered a strong presence through product demonstrations, panel discussions, and developer-focused engagements, reinforcing its commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s digital infrastructure and fostering innovation across the South-South region.
Its participation aligned with Delta State’s ambition to become an emerging technology hub through collaboration, capacity-building, and ecosystem development.
A key highlight of Interswitch’s involvement was the showcase of its API Marketplace and the Interswitch Payment Gateway, where the team demonstrated how businesses and developers can integrate seamlessly for payments, collections, merchant services, reconciliations, and commerce expansion.
The sessions offered hands-on insights into how Interswitch technology powers secure, frictionless checkout experiences and enables enterprises to scale efficiently across the country.
The company also featured prominently in panel discussions on financial inclusion, digital commerce enablement, the evolution of developer culture, and the role of infrastructure in driving socio-economic growth. These conversations highlighted Interswitch’s leadership in shaping Nigeria’s digital economy.
Speaking on the company’s participation, Head of Operations Strategy at Interswitch, Olayinka Oluwadamilare, emphasised the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration in driving regional innovation.
“Delta Tech Week reflects the power of collective action in building a stronger digital future. Interacting with developers, startups, and the public sector in one space reaffirmed the importance of reliable infrastructure in driving innovation. Interswitch remains committed to supporting Delta State’s tech ecosystem and empowering its builders with secure, seamless payment solutions,” she said.
Interswitch maintained strong visibility throughout the event, including at DevFest, the Women in Tech Summit, and breakout sessions focused on infrastructure, entrepreneurship, payments, and the future of software development. Representing the company were Adeyinka Adekoya, Vice President, Energy Ecosystem; Blessing Ogbonna James, Head of Digital Payments; Chidi Opara Ndudu, Partner Manager; and Esohe Obaseki, Executive, Growth Marketing.
As the maiden edition of Delta Tech Week concluded, Interswitch reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the state’s rapidly growing technology ecosystem and enabling individuals and businesses with secure, reliable, and future-ready digital payment solutions.
