Three Nigerian tech start‑ups named WEF Technology Pioneers 2025
Nigeria’s tech ecosystem took center stage at the World Economic Forum’s 2025 Technology Pioneers selection, as three homegrown start‑ups—Cybervergent, Sabi, and ThriveAgric—were named among 100 global innovators.
Cybervergent offers cybersecurity solutions; Sabi streamlines SME operations; ThriveAgric applies tech to farming and agri‑finance. Their inclusion highlights Nigeria’s maturing digital sector amid continental competition.
Their recognition at WEF demonstrates growing global interest in African innovation, and signals potential for investment and partnerships. Federal and state leaders praised the firms and urged broader policy support for tech R&D.
The honour caps a week of positive tech developments, joining recent national efforts to licence A2P messaging and expand cybersecurity infrastructure.
