Interswitch Highlights Digital Innovation at Nigeria’s First Delta Tech Week

Interswitch, a premier Africa-based provider of integrated payments and digital commerce solutions, made a significant impact at the debut Delta Tech Week 2025 — the flagship festival celebrating innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship organized by the Delta State Government through the Ministry of Science and Technology. The five-day event, held in Asaba from December 1st to 5th, assembled a diverse mix of startups, corporate entities, academic institutions, investors, developers, and ecosystem enablers from across Nigeria.

As a proud sponsor, Interswitch showcased its technological prowess through product demonstrations, engaging panel discussions, and developer-centric activities, reaffirming its dedication to advancing Nigeria’s digital infrastructure and fostering innovation across the South-South region. The company’s involvement supported Delta State’s vision of establishing itself as a burgeoning technology hub through strategic collaboration, capacity development, and ecosystem growth.

A standout moment was Interswitch’s presentation of its API Marketplace and Payment Gateway, illustrating how businesses and developers can effortlessly integrate solutions for payments, collections, merchant services, reconciliations, and broader commerce expansion. These demonstrations provided practical insights into how Interswitch’s technology underpins secure, seamless checkout experiences, empowering enterprises to expand rapidly nationwide.

The company also played a prominent role in panel discussions centered on financial inclusion, digital commerce enablement, the evolution of developer culture, and infrastructure’s role in socio-economic development. These dialogues reinforced Interswitch’s leadership position in shaping Nigeria’s digital economy.

Olayinka Oluwadamilare, Head of Operations Strategy at Interswitch, emphasized the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration in fostering 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.”

Throughout the festival, Interswitch maintained high visibility across key events such as DevFest, the Women in Tech Summit, and multiple breakout sessions focused on infrastructure, entrepreneurship, payments, and the future of software development.

Representing the company at these engagements were Adeyinka Adekoya, Vice President, Energy Ecosystem; Blessing Ogbonna James, Head of Digital Payments; Chidi Opara Ndudu, Partner Manager; and Esohe Obaseki, Executive of Growth Marketing.

As Delta Tech Week’s inaugural edition concluded, Interswitch reaffirmed its dedication to nurturing Delta State’s rapidly expanding tech ecosystem and equipping individuals and businesses with secure, reliable, and future-ready digital payment solutions.
