Advanxis Technologies announces the third edition of its National Automation Prize (NAP) for 2026, offering a ₦52.5 million prize for Nigerian innovators.

The announcement from multiple outlets describes NAP 2026 as a national challenge focused on turning ideas into working automation and technology solutions. Coverage highlights that submissions are open to innovators both within Nigeria and abroad. The prize is framed around engineering and technology aimed at real-world impact, with emphasis on areas such as automation, artificial intelligence, robotics, and industrial technologies.

While both sources agree on the prize amount and the event’s purpose, their emphasis differs slightly: one outlet focuses more directly on the announcement of the third edition and the headline prize figure, while the other expands on the themes and the kinds of technological applications the competition is intended to support.
