Lagos Summit to Address Digital Procurement Solutions

The Lagos summit, scheduled for May 26, 2026, will gather procurement executives, policymakers, and corporate leaders from across Africa to discuss digital technology's role in addressing fraud, inefficiency, and weak oversight in procurement systems. Organized by Gloopro, the summit will focus on the theme of accelerating procurement transformation in the digital era.

Olumid Olusanya, Chief Executive Officer of Gloopro, emphasized the need for leaders to collaborate in shaping the future of procurement in both public and private sectors. The event aims to reflect the broader shift among African enterprises towards digital procurement systems, addressing challenges such as off-contract spending and fragmented supplier oversight.

The summit will feature closed-door executive platforms, roundtable discussions, and sessions on automating procurement governance strategies to reduce leakage linked to manual processes. Gloopro provides e-procurement solutions to multinational companies and large enterprises, aiming to enhance visibility and control over indirect spending.
