Smart Cities West Africa 2022

Issue 4 2021 News & Events

Smart Cities West Africa is launching in Lagos in 2022 and its aim is to connect smart technology solutions for secure, sustainable urban development in West Africa.


The exhibition is co-located with Securex West Africa, which is the largest security, fire and safety exhibition in West Africa. Smart Cities West Africa focuses on cutting edge, smart technologies that allow urban areas to develop and thrive as more of our daily lives go online and in turn need to be secured.

Manufacturers and service providers from the regional and international market will come together over the three days of the exhibition to demonstrate their innovative technology. Smart Cities West Africa takes place in the commercial capital of Nigeria and indeed West Africa, at the purpose-built exhibition venue, the Landmark Centre, on Victoria Island from 10–12 May 2022. The exhibition will attract more than 3000 visitors and over 150 brands from a cross section of the industry with numerous countries represented.

Taking place alongside the exhibition will be a number of high-level conference sessions that will focus on the sectors that are most pertinent to smart cities planning and business integration.
