TechNexus Limited in partnership with the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has announced the Port Harcourt Tech Expo 2026 themed “Syntropy”.

The two-day technology conference and exhibition has been scheduled to hold on Thursday, June 11 and Friday, June 12, 2026 at the EUI Events Center.

The organisers said the annual expo would bring together entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, technology professionals and creatives from across the Niger Delta, other parts of the country and the diaspora.

The Managing Director of TechNexus, Belema George, in a statement said the 2026 edition would feature keynote addresses, panel discussions, startup pitch competitions, product demonstrations and networking sessions.

He said the entire programme was aimed at promoting technology-driven economic growth in Rivers State and the South-South region.

He explained that the theme, Syntrooy, was derived from the concept of constructive synergy to reflect the belief that collaboration among innovators, investors and institutions could accelerate regional development.

George said the partnership with the NDDC aligned with the commission’s mandate to drive sustainable development in the Niger Delta through innovation and strategic investments.

He added that many private sector stakeholders, including financial institutions, energy firms and telecommunication companies operating in the region, had also thrown their weight behind the initiative.

He explained that the event was designed to position the Niger Delta as a hub for innovation and enterprise.

He said: “The Port Harcourt Tech Expo is our declaration that the Niger Delta is open for innovation. We are building a platform where the most brilliant minds in our region can meet the resources, mentorship and market access they need to thrive. SYNTROPY is not just an event, it is the beginning of a movement.

“The Port Harcourt Tech Expo 2026 is proudly supported by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), whose mandate to accelerate development in the Niger Delta region aligns directly with the Expo’s objectives. The NDDC’s partnership underscores the importance of technology and innovation as critical drivers of regional transformation.

“In addition, a number of distinguished private sector stakeholders, including financial institutions, energy sector corporations, and telecommunications companies operating in the region have extended their support to the initiative.
