Tech4Good at Titans of Tech, Celebrating the 20 years Conference & Expo

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Titans of Tech Conference & Expo, a remarkable milestone that undeniably underscores the event’s enduring impact and significance in the tech community. Organized by the dedicated team led by Don Pedro, the conference has consistently brought together thought leaders, innovators, and industry experts to share insights, foster collaborations, and drive technological advancement.

Panel on Tech4Good at Titans of Tech

The Tech4Good at Titans of Tech panel will evidently focus on how technology can transform society and our communities in positive ways. For me, technology is certainly not an end in itself. Challenges and opportunities certainly characterize the digital age. The burning question, however, has always been: how can technological advancements be harnessed for the greater good? Technology matters but it is always about me. This panel will therefore delve into various ways technology can contribute to sustainable development, contribute social good, improve public services, and foster inclusive growth.

Meet the Tech4Good at Titans of Tech Panelists

I am honoured to share the stage with a group of distinguished professionals who are leaders in their respective fields:
Olawale Owoyeye, CEO, Cedarview Communications Ltd
Tinuade Oguntuyi, Head, Network and Solutions, Information Connectivity Solutions Limited
Bidemi A. Olaiya, Founder, Ampersand Hi-technologies Limited

Each panelist brings a wealth of experience and unique perspectives on how technology can be a force for good. Together, we will discuss innovative solutions, share success stories, and explore future trends to shape a better world.

My Perspective as an STI Public Policy Advisor

As an STI (Science, Technology, and Innovation) public policy advisor, I am particularly excited to contribute to this Tech4Good at Titans of Tech discussion. I find it interesting exploring the intersection of technology and public policy. In my opinion, strategic policymaking is crucial to facilitating the use and development of technological advancements that benefit society. Obviously, it is not a job for government alone or for one person, or one organization. Indeed, we can create a sustainable and inclusive digital future through collaborative efforts between policymakers, technologists, the tech community and stakeholders. However, do we have the foresight? Do we have will?

Recognizing Don Pedro Aganbi and His Team

I deeply appreciate Don Pedro Aganbi and his dedicated team, particularly for inviting me to be a panelist and for their tireless efforts in organizing this prestigious event for the past two decades. They have pressed forward, regardless of the challenges and obstacles in the environment. Their commitment to fostering innovation and bringing together the tech community has made the Titans of Tech Conference & Expo a cornerstone event in the industry. I am therefore glad to be associated which such a noble undertaking.
