With a strong team presence, exhibition participation and executive representation, Cinfores Limited joined industry leaders, innovators and investors at OffChart NXT 2026 to celebrate innovation and explore new opportunities for technology-driven growth. Further reaffirming its commitment to innovation, collaboration and digital transformation with its participation in the recently concluded OffChart NXT Conference 2026, held on October 22–23 at the Dr. Obi Wali International Conference Centre, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The company participated as both a guest and exhibitor, with a strong representation from its team. Adding to Cinfores' presence at the conference, its Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ibifuro Asawo, was scheduled to speak at the event, further positioning the company within important conversations shaping technology, entrepreneurship and business growth across Africa.

Formerly known as the #StartupSouth Conference, OffChart NXT marked the evolution of a decade-long technology and entrepreneurship gathering into a broader pan-African platform connecting founders, investors, established businesses, policymakers and global ecosystem leaders. Under the theme "Growth Doesn't Follow Maps", the 11th edition challenged conventional boundaries of business growth, highlighting the opportunities emerging from Africa's diverse and often underrepresented innovation ecosystems.

For Cinfores, participation went beyond simply being present. The company's exhibition provided an opportunity to strengthen its visibility, engage with stakeholders, connect with fellow technology practitioners and emerging innovators, and showcase its identity as a homegrown technology company delivering innovative digital solutions across multiple sectors. Through these engagements, Cinfores contributed to the growing recognition of Port Harcourt as an important player in Nigeria's technology and innovation landscape.

The two-day conference featured insightful discussions, networking sessions, industry engagements and opportunities for business partnerships. A major highlight was the OffChart NXT 2026 Startup Challenge, which mobilised a ₦30 million Founder Prize Pool to support promising startups in the Early Traction and Early Growth categories. The initiative further underscored the conference's commitment to connecting emerging businesses with investors, strategic partners, capital and opportunities for expansion.

As a technology company with a growing portfolio of digital solutions spanning education, government, legal services, business operations and institutional process automation, Cinfores recognises the importance of platforms such as OffChart NXT in fostering meaningful industry relationships and accelerating technology adoption. The company's participation reflects its continued commitment to engaging with the innovation ecosystem, supporting entrepreneurial growth and contributing to conversations that will shape the future of technology in Nigeria and across Africa.

For Cinfores, the future of technology is not simply about building digital solutions; it is about creating opportunities, enabling progress and driving meaningful transformation.

As the company continues to expand its reach and impact, its presence at OffChart NXT 2026 reinforces a clear message: innovation knows no geographical boundaries, and Port Harcourt is very much part of the conversation shaping Africa's digital future.
