Partnership · 2026
Put your name on the record
Three tiers, sold once each. The presenting partnership changes what the award is called; a category partnership gives you one of 18.
The partner wall, ISF Forum, Ibadan
What you are buying
Three reasons, stated plainly
No impression counts, because we do not have any worth quoting. What follows is what the partnership actually is.
The room, not the reach
Five hundred founders, investors, bank and regulator leadership, in one room, at the end of two days of sessions together. It is a small number and that is the point — everyone in it can act on what they hear.
Association with a verified process
Every figure behind every award is checked against filings, funding records and market data. Partners are buying proximity to a process that has a standard, not to a popularity vote.
A permanent record
Winners join the Hall of Distinction, which carries forward each year. 2026 is the inaugural edition, so the first partners are on the record from the beginning.
The tiers
What each one includes
Figures are set per edition and quoted on request. Tables of ten at the gala are booked separately with events@theisfforum.com.

The award is co-presented with your name, from the nomination form through to the envelope on stage. One organisation a year, and it is the only tier that changes what the award is called.
