A new tech firm, Dyna.Ai, at the weekend made its Nigeria debut in Lagos, promising jobs, infrastructure, scale innovation and investment in local talent development.
Dyna.Ai which is a global leader in AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS), said it is entering the continent with Nigeria launch because there is no bigger country in Africa, adding that it (Nigeria) is where the momentum is.
Chairman and Co-President of Dyna.Ai, Mr. Tomas Skoumal, who spoke during an exclusive closed-door event tagged: ‘Nigeria Dyna Day’ at Four Point by Sheraton, Lagos at the weekend, said the company is in the country for real, not just to sell products and go but to complement ongoing efforts to expand digital infrastructure, create jobs and deepen the penetration of technology and innovation.
Speaking on the strategic importance of Nigeria and the broader African market, he said: “For us, it makes sense to start in Nigeria. There is no bigger country in Africa—this is where the momentum is.”
He also underscored the company’s long-term ambition to invest in local talent, stating: “We’re not just here to sell a product—we’re here to build infrastructure, create local jobs, and scale innovation from Nigeria to the rest of Africa.”
The event which had: “AI Unleashed: Revolutionising Nigeria’s Financial Future” as theme brought together leading voices from the country’s AI, financial, fintech, telecom, and other key sectors, including representatives from government agencies and major enterprises and saw the introduction and orientation of its suite of AI-powered products and solutions to Nigeria’s emerging financial ecosystem.
He also underscored the company’s long-term ambition to invest in local talent, stating: “We’re not just here to sell a product—we’re here to build infrastructure, create local jobs, and scale innovation from Nigeria to the rest of Africa.”
He noted that Africa is no longer just “the future,” but is actively transforming today, driven by rapid digitalization and fintech innovation. “This is the perfect time to be here,” he added, highlighting that Dyna.Ai sees technology as a vital bridge to financial inclusion and long-term growth across the region.
In his keynote at the event, Special Assistant to the President on ICT Development and Digital Innovation, Tokoni Peter Igoin, underscored the Federal Government’s vision for a secure and forward-thinking digital ecosystem.
“The government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, under the visionary leadership of His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, is fully committed to responsible innovation. Our approach to AI and financial technology is rooted in a positive framework. It encourages creativity while ensuring transparency, data protection, and digital security,” he said.
Lagos State Commissioner of Innovation, Science and Technology, Olatunbosun Alake gave insights from the government/regulatory perspective. He said the state government is also taking steps towards the wide adoption and regulation of AI in the state with the planned release of the first AI guidelines for the deployment and management of AI in the coming weeks.
“They are not policies. They are just guidelines to make sure that you and I are building the kinds of products that, in the future, we will be proud to let our children use and not try to protect them from.
“Unchecked AI isn’t just risky—it’s reputationally radioactive… The most enduring returns will come from value that aligns with the public good,” Alake said, adding that Lagos is committed to becoming a hub for responsible AI development and innovation that serves all.
Skoumal introduced Dyna.Ai’s advanced Agentic AI solutions, including its proprietary Agent Studio and industry-specific language models, designed to power intelligent automation across customer service, marketing, collections, HR and more.
Dyna.Ai also showcased its advanced AI technologies at the event, including AvatarGPT, an AI digital human delivering interactive experiences; VoiceGPT, a voice agent featuring authentic local accents for seamless communication in Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo; along with live demonstrations showing how these innovations empower customer engagement and employee experience.
Participants had the opportunity to enjoy an immersive AI Experience Forum, featuring panel sessions, live product demonstrations, and exclusive discussions with Dyna.Ai executives and experts.
