Interswitch, one of Africa’s leading integrated payments and digital commerce companies, played a pivotal role at the maiden edition of 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 company on Wednesday said the five-day event, held recently in Asaba, attracted a broad mix of startups, corporates, academia, investors, developers and ecosystem enablers from across Nigeria.
As a sponsor of the festival, Interswitch maintained a strong presence through product demonstrations, panel discussions and developer-focused engagements, underscoring its commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s digital infrastructure and fostering innovation across the South-South region.
The company’s participation aligned with Delta State’s vision of emerging as a technology hub through collaboration, capacity building and ecosystem development.
One of the major highlights of Interswitch’s involvement was the live showcase of its API Marketplace and Interswitch Payment Gateway. During the sessions, the company demonstrated how developers and businesses can seamlessly integrate payment solutions for collections, merchant services, reconciliations and commerce expansion.
Participants were offered hands-on insights into how Interswitch’s technology delivers secure, frictionless checkout experiences and enables enterprises to scale efficiently nationwide.
Interswitch also featured prominently in panel discussions focused on financial inclusion, digital commerce enablement, the growth of developer culture and the role of infrastructure in driving socio-economic development. These engagements reinforced the company’s leadership position in shaping Nigeria’s evolving digital economy.
Speaking on Interswitch’s participation, the Head of Operations Strategy at Interswitch, Olayinka Oluwadamilare, stressed the importance of collaboration among stakeholders in driving sustainable 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.
Throughout the event, Interswitch maintained strong visibility at key sessions including DevFest, the Women in Tech Summit and various breakout sessions focused on infrastructure, entrepreneurship, payments and the future of software development.
The company was represented by senior executives including 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 inaugural Delta Tech Week came to a close, Interswitch reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the state’s fast-growing technology ecosystem and enabling individuals and businesses with secure, reliable and future-ready digital payment solutions.
