Zenith Bank Future Forward 6.0: How Zenith Bank Is Leading Nigerian Banks Into the AI Age

Nigerian banks are all talking about artificial intelligence. Only one is using its own Tech Fair
stage to show the nation what comes next.

That bank is Zenith Bank, and its big event, Zenith
Bank Future Forward 6.0, is just days away. The theme this year is bold: AI: Embrace or Extinct.

The message is clear. Those who learn AI will grow. Those who ignore it will be left behind.

This is not a new topic for Zenith Bank. The bank has run its Tech Fair since 2019. Over the
years the fair has grown.

The fourth edition looked at the impact of AI on embedded finance and
cybersecurity.

At the fifth edition, held on 20 November 2025 at Eko Hotels and Suites in Lagos,
the talks covered fintech, AI and agentic AI. Zenith Bank also gave out ₦140 million to ten
African innovators after a hackathon and a startup pitch contest.

Zenith Bank also backs its words with real tools. ZIVA, the bank’s own AI helper, lets customers
bank on WhatsApp and other social platforms.

This is a bank that plans for tomorrow.

What to expect

Expect fresh ideas for young founders and developers
too. Zecathon 6.0, the bank’s innovation challenge, carries a total cash prize of ₦190 million.
It includes a startup pitch contest that puts the spotlight on Generative AI and Agentic AI, plus a
hackathon for banking solutions. And since the whole event is online, you can join from home,
from the office or from the bus.

One more thing. Your favourite tech influencers may pop up during Zenith Bank Future Forward
6.0. Maybe once, maybe many times, across the different pages. Keep your eyes open, and
keep your data ready.

Zenith Bank is not waiting for the AI wave. It is steering the ship.

Register today, set your
reminder, and tell your friends.
Zenith Bank: Naija’s pride!
