Nigerian technology company, Arigo Technologies, will on Saturday, August 30, 2025, introduce seven new digital platforms in one day, an ambitious move that industry watchers say is rare even by global standards. The launch will take place at the Oriental Hotel on Victoria Island, Lagos, and is being described as a landmark moment for Africa’s technology ecosystem.
The company’s founder, Dr. Arinze Madueke, said the initiative was not only about unveiling products but also about sending a strong message to the global market that Africa is ready to lead in innovation.
“This is not just about rolling out products,” Madueke said in a statement on Wednesday. “It is about showing that Africa has the talent and vision to drive the future of technology.”
The seven platforms cut across different areas of daily life and business. One of them is a values-based marriage and relationship hub designed with cultural sensitivity, compatibility matching, and counselling support for couples and singles. The platform is expected to serve as a modern bridge between traditional expectations and contemporary relationship needs.
Another product focuses on football and aims to create a global digital community where players, clubs, scouts, and agents can interact seamlessly. The football hub will also integrate performance tracking, player data, and opportunities for professional growth, giving young athletes in Africa a chance to be discovered by international teams.
In addition, the company will unveil a professional networking platform tailored for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and companies. The platform will give users access to mentorship opportunities, resource sharing, and tools to expand across borders, encouraging collaboration within Africa’s growing digital economy.
Arigo is also entering the property market with a new digital marketplace. The platform will connect verified buyers and sellers with agents, offering secure payment options and tools for virtual property inspections. With Nigeria’s real estate sector experiencing rapid growth, this product is expected to help reduce fraud and promote transparency in property transactions.
The company is also stepping into entertainment and lifestyle with an event discovery platform. The service will enable organisers and attendees to manage ticketing, promotion, and audience engagement on one digital space. Alongside this, Arigo will introduce an AI-driven solutions hub designed to provide businesses and governments with insights to support quicker and smarter decision-making.
So far, six of the platforms have been revealed. However, the company is keeping the seventh one under wraps. Industry insiders suggest it may be a hybrid platform that merges social interaction, shopping, and lifestyle services into a single space.
All the products were developed within the Arigo Innovation & Incubation Hub, a centre created to support young talent, encourage collaboration, and transform ideas into real solutions. According to Madueke, the hub was set up to build confidence in African innovators and prove that they can compete with the best in the world.
Technology analysts have said the upcoming launch could set new standards for how African tech companies introduce products to the global market. They argue that such a bold step not only signals ambition but also positions Nigeria as a key player in digital innovation.
“We want this launch to show that Africa is no longer waiting for innovation to come from outside,” Madueke said. “We are building solutions here that can serve both our continent and the rest of the world.”
The unveiling is expected to attract key figures from technology, business, and investment circles within Africa and beyond. Industry leaders say the event could mark a turning point for Nigerian startups, as international investors are increasingly looking at Africa as a market for both talent and opportunity.
Observers believe that if the platforms succeed, Arigo Technologies could become one of the leading names in Africa’s digital economy. The launch also highlights Nigeria’s growing reputation as a hub for digital transformation and tech-driven solutions.
