Everyone celebrates the unicorn that opened in Nairobi. Almost nobody celebrates the 40-person company that did the same thing with none of the capital.

SME Crosser of the Year is for them. Under 250 staff, and still got across a border.

The nominees:

· Redbird Health Tech
· Terraskills @terraskillsng
· TradeDepot @tradedepot.co

This might be the most relatable category on the list.

The first category is the one the whole forum is named after.

Scale-Up of the Year goes to a company that did the hard thing — grew past its home market and stayed there. Not announced an expansion. Survived one.

The nominees:

· Flutterwave @theflutterwave
· M-KOPA @mkopa.ng
· Onafriq (MFS Africa) @onafriq_app

Winner announced at the Scale Without Borders Award Gala, 28 November, Ibadan.

It means the State is convening this with us — not watching from the side. A continental forum, held in Ibadan, backed by the government of the state hosting it.

The motto on that crest reads The Pacesetter. It has been there a long time. This is the kind of thing that keeps it true: three thousand founders, investors and operators from across the continent coming to Oyo State to talk about what it actually takes to build something here that crosses a border.

We’re grateful for the partnership, and we don’t take it lightly.

@sales_unbox joins ISF Forum 2026 as a Sponsor.

Most Nigerian SMEs are running their entire business across four or five disconnected things — a notebook for inventory, WhatsApp for orders, a bank app for payments, and somebody’s memory for who owes what. It works until it doesn’t, and the point where it stops working is usually the point where the business was about to grow.

SalesUnbox pulls that into one place: commerce, CRM, inventory, built for SMEs on this continent rather than adapted from somewhere else.

Which matters more than it sounds for a forum about scaling. You cannot cross a border on a business you can’t see clearly from the inside.

Glad to have them with us in Ibadan.

Growth is a finance problem long before it’s a market problem. The expansion that kills a company is almost never the one that failed commercially — it’s the one the balance sheet couldn’t carry.

Peace Ikeoluwa Oladunjoye - @stealthwealthnetwork is Group CFO at EAG, and joins us at ISF Forum 2026 for the numbers side of scaling.

✨ CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE. HONOURING IMPACT. RECOGNISING THE WOMEN WHO ARE BUILDING THE FUTURE. ✨

Some achievements deserve more than applause. They deserve a moment, a stage, and a celebration that brings together the people shaping the future of business and innovation. 🥂🏆

At Innovation and Scale Forum 2026 (ISF2026), in partnership with Ibadan Start-up Fest, we are creating that moment with the highly anticipated Gala Dinner and Awards Night — an evening dedicated to celebrating excellence, recognising outstanding contributions, and honouring the people making meaningful impact across industries.

🌟 THE WOMEN IN BUSINESS AWARD: IT'S TIME TO GIVE HER FLOWERS!

Behind every thriving business, bold innovation, and inspiring success story is someone who dared to do things differently. Today, we want to celebrate the women breaking barriers, building remarkable businesses, creating opportunities, and inspiring the next generation of leaders.

💡 Do you know a woman who is making waves in her industry?
💼 A founder building a business that creates real impact?
🚀 A woman challenging the status quo and opening doors for others?
👏 Someone whose leadership, resilience, and achievements deserve greater recognition?

Don't just admire her work. Nominate her! 💛

Let's shine a spotlight on the women who are transforming businesses, empowering communities, and proving that there are no limits to what women can achieve.

📅 Date: November 28th, 2026
🥂 Gala Dinner and Awards Night: 28th of November, 2026
📍 Venue: International Conference Centre, Ibadan

$1.5 million in debt funding, including a ₦1 billion raise — for a company that started in a living room.

Sycamore built peer-to-peer lending in a market where most people borrow from friends anyway, and turned that into infrastructure. It’s a hard thing to build and a harder thing to keep solvent.

One law now sits underneath every company in this country that holds customer data — and most founders have read none of it.

Dr. Vincent Olatunji - @volatunji leads the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, the body enforcing the Nigeria Data Protection Act, and has been pushing for harmonised data governance across the continent.

If you’re planning to operate in more than one African market, this is the session you cannot afford to skip.

The countdown is getting real, and this year, your ISF ticket is more than just entry — it’s your move on the board. ♟️

At Innovation & Scale Forum 2026, every ticket comes with a code. And every code you pass on moves you closer to the top.

But here’s the interesting part: the real reward isn’t a discount.

It’s the access.

A seat at the Gala Table.
A place in the closed-door session.
And your name on the ISF site.

So, the question isn’t “How much can I save?”
It’s “How far can my move take me?”
