Africa's leading integrated payments and digital commerce company, Interswitch, were platinum sponsors of the 2021 Dev Fest Lagos event which was held at the Landmark event center on the 8th of December.

The Dev Fest is regarded as one of the most popular developer conventions globally, drawing thousands of developers to network and celebrate the role of technology in our present-day world.

In a keynote address delivered by the Group Head, Engineering, Digital Ecosystem, and Web Acquiring, Interswitch, Abdul-Hafiz Ibrahim, he noted the rapid adoption of digital products by consumers occasioned by the restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. He also stated that as movement across the country was restricted, tech firms were driven to introduce digital solutions that met the needs of their consumers.

As technology adoption has gathered pace, Ibrahim enjoined the audience to work collectively to create a unified platform for developers to access Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

As a platinum sponsor of Dev Fest Lagos 2021, Interswitch leveraged this exciting platform to provide tech enthusiasts with avenues to interact, exchange ideas, and innovate, a testament to our commitment, as one of the pioneering champions of technology APIs in Nigeria, to enhance the continued advancement of the local tech ecosystem.
