The Flagship Stage for Nigeria's Digital Economy
Lagos Blockchain Week (LBW) is the flagship city-level edition of Nigeria Blockchain Week — a multi-day platform convening blockchain innovators, developers, startups, investors, policymakers, creatives, educators and young talent to accelerate the adoption of blockchain, AI and digital innovation across Lagos State and Nigeria.
The 2026 edition, themed “The Intelligent Economy,” lands at a defining moment as new federal regulation, a national digital economy strategy and a wave of AI adoption converge to reshape how Nigeria builds, invests and creates.
