Deadline: September 5, 2026
Applications are open for the Tech Women Fest Laptop Initiative 2026, an opportunity designed to provide laptops to young women in Nigeria who are pursuing careers in technology but lack access to a personal computer.
The initiative aims to help reduce the digital access gap by giving selected young women the tools they need to learn, practise their skills, build technology projects and advance their professional careers.
The programme is open to eligible applicants in Lagos, Ogun and Oyo States, with successful recipients expected to receive their laptops during Tech Women Fest Lagos in October 2026.
About the Tech Women Fest Laptop Initiative
The Laptop Initiative is part of Tech Women Fest Lagos 2026 and focuses on addressing one of the practical barriers that can prevent young women from progressing in technology: limited access to personal computing devices.
Having a laptop can make it easier for aspiring technology professionals to participate in online courses, practise technical skills, develop projects, build portfolios and pursue employment or freelance opportunities.
The initiative therefore targets young women who are actively developing careers in technology and require a personal laptop to support their learning and professional growth.
Who Can Apply?
The initiative is open to young women who meet the following conditions:
Reside in Lagos, Ogun or Oyo State.
Are currently pursuing or developing a career in technology.
Need access to a personal laptop to support their learning and professional development.
Are willing to register for Tech Women Fest Lagos.
Are willing to complete the separate Laptop Initiative application.
Applicants should be prepared to demonstrate how access to a laptop would support their technology journey and career development.
What Selected Applicants Will Receive
Successful applicants will receive:
A personal laptop to support their technology career.
Access to a device for learning and skills development.
An opportunity to use the laptop for building projects and developing a professional portfolio.
Participation in the Tech Women Fest Lagos ecosystem.
The laptop is intended to provide practical support for beneficiaries as they continue developing their skills and pursuing opportunities within the technology sector.
