Swiftthink Foundation To Shape Young Minds With TESS 2025 Forum

The Edge Series Summit (TESS) 2025 hosted by SwiftThink Foundation is set to inspire ideas, courage, and possibility in Lagos on Tuesday, December 16, 2025.

Framed around the theme “Conversations That Shape Tomorrow,” the Summit gathers Africa’s thinkers, builders, and emerging leaders for an evening designed to spark clarity, collaboration, and future-focused action.

Since its inception in 2014, The Edge Series has grown into a continental development ecosystem, impacting over 10,000 young Africans through leadership development, enterprise support, mentorship, and innovation-driven programming.

According to ’Seyi Jolayemi (SDJ), Founder & CEO of SwiftThink Foundation, the Summit exists “to shape leaders who can think clearly, collaborate effectively, and build structures that outlive them.”

TESS 2025 marks a renewed chapter for the platform, reinforcing its commitment to thought leadership, innovation, and collaborative problem-solving across Africa’s most critical sectors.

Participants will engage in three curated panel conversations focused on digital systems and governance, leadership and entrepreneurial courage, and execution, performance, and work culture for a new Africa.

The Summit will feature distinguished speakers, including Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, Dr. Olori Boye-Ajayi, Prof. Akin Akinpelu, and Topsy Kola-Oyeneyin. TESS 2025 is proudly supported by Riverbank Technologies, Krystal Digital Solutions, Brass & Castle, Adler Technology, MyEarnify, Fidtech Global Engineering Resource, Bank 78 and Stringify.
