Africa’s Global Bank, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc is set to host the latest edition of its quarterly UBA Business Series, turning the spotlight on how businesses can transform everyday customer feedback into technology that answers Africa’s real needs,
Scheduled for Thursday, 16 July 2026 at 11:00 a.m. (WAT), the event, themed “Building for Africa’s Realities: Turning Consumer Feedback into Technology-Driven Solutions,” will convene founders, investors and builders to share candid insight on designing products that work in African conditions rather than solutions borrowed wholesale from elsewhere.
Participants will be able to join virtually, as the session streams live across UBA’s digital platforms, including the Group’s YouTube channel, with those interested following the conversation online through the bank’s official channels.
The session will feature a lineup of speakers who have built for African markets first-hand, including rapper and entrepreneur, M I Abaga; venture capitalist and co-founder of Octerra Capital, Ashim Egunjobi; and co-founder and chief executive of Chowdeck, Femi Aluko. The conversation will be hosted by media entrepreneur and founder, Adaora Mbelu.
Panelists are expected to share their personal journeys and perspectives on building consumer platforms, backing the founders behind them, and staying close enough to the customer to keep getting the product right in a fast-moving market.
