What happened at
DIRA Tech Fest 2026?
From digital skills training to a live government Tech Summit, three days that set the foundation for the Northwest Region's digital future.
The Northwest Region's premier technology festival: 1,000+ participants, three days, ten startup products built, and a government summit that advanced regional innovation.
From digital skills training to a live government Tech Summit, three days that set the foundation for the Northwest Region's digital future.
Five finalist teams pitched before 750+ attendees and a panel of government and industry judges at Cathedral Hall.
DIRA Tech Fest 2026 was conceived, planned, and executed by DIRA Foundation, a registered technology and innovation organisation headquartered at AWICCUL Building, Commercial Avenue, Bamenda.
The festival was delivered as a premier regional platform, establishing proof of concept and a durable benchmark for technology, innovation, and digital entrepreneurship programmes across the Northwest Region.
The 2026 edition drew representatives of three government ministries, NFC Bank's Regional Manager, and over 1,000 members of the public to Cathedral Hall, demonstrating the immense regional momentum for forward-looking technology initiatives.
Moderated by Mr. Reinhard Nebassi, the Tech Summit brought together six senior institutional figures on a single stage, a panel the organising team believes was without precedent in the Northwest Region for its composition and directness.
Every exhibiting business received free, professionally allocated space and direct access to government delegates, investors, and over 1,000 members of the public at Cathedral Hall.
