Interswitch drives adaptive financial tech at TechConnect 6.0

Interswitch has launched the sixth edition of its industry engagement series, TechConnect 6.0, in Owerri, Imo State. The event seeks to unite stakeholders from various sectors, including government, financial services, technology, and business, to discuss the infrastructure and partnerships required for a rapidly evolving digital economy. The theme of the multi-city roadshow is "Built for What's Next: Designing Adaptive Financial Infrastructure for a Dynamic Market."

The initiative aims to explore how organizations can develop scalable, connected, secure, and responsive systems as consumer expectations and business models change. Following its launch in Owerri, the series will visit Abuja on October 8, Ibadan on October 22, and conclude in Lagos on October 27.

Tyoyila Aga, Interswitch's Vice President for Business Innovation and Growth, stressed the importance of building future-ready systems. He stated, "Building for what's next means designing infrastructure with change being top of mind. Markets, customer expectations, and business needs will continue to evolve, so the systems that support them must be scalable, interoperable, secure, and resilient enough to evolve with them."

The kickoff event in Owerri features a keynote address by Justice Okoye, Executive Chairman of the Imo State Internal Revenue Service. He will discuss the role of adaptive financial infrastructure in strengthening state institutions, optimizing revenue service delivery, and promoting economic participation. A notable highlight is a panel discussion titled "Driving Digital Transformation Through Public-Private Partnerships," which will be moderated by Interswitch's Lead for Partner & Client Management, Faith Ukpai.

The panel will feature industry experts such as Dr. Kalu Nnachi, Managing Director/CEO of Zikora Microfinance Bank Limited; Celestine Obiosa Uzor, Managing Director of Premise2Cloud ICT Solutions Limited; Emmanuel Alozie, Technology and Process Automation lead at Abia State Internal Revenue Service; and Tyoyila Aga.
