Solution 1: Item tracker

In 2026, women in tech want a software solution that helps them track where they last placed their items and even confirms if they turned things off before leaving home. No more panic about missing keys or wondering if the gas cooker is still on.

“This will help save time and save us from many panic moments and ensure that the safe place you choose to hide something special remains safe,” Ogechi Nelson said.

Solution 2: Meal automator

In 2026,  women in tech wish for an End-to-End Nigerian Meal Automator. According to Chinenye Anikwenze, cooking local dishes can be very slow because the prep work is done by hand. 

“I want a modular system that handles the hard parts. It should peel yams, blend peppers to specific textures, and chop vegetables automatically,” she said. 

The second part would be a precision stir-cooker. It would have a motor to stir soups or swallows at the right speed. This would stop people from standing over a hot stove for hours. 

“As someone who builds digital workflows, I want that same efficiency in my kitchen. It would free up hours every day,” Chineye added.

Solution 3: Teleportation

In 2026, Omonigho Okome truly wished someone had figured this out already. She said she struggles with motion sickness and absolutely hates long commutes, so she wants a tech solution for teleportation.

“I know teleportation would technically involve disintegrating in one location and regenerating in another, but honestly, if it saves me from Lagos traffic in December, please sign me up immediately,” she said.

Solution 4: AI detector for Cancer

Women in tech wish that someone would actually create an AI-powered machine that can detect, understand, and eradicate cancer at its root using data-driven precision to diagnose early, personalise treatment, and ultimately save millions of lives worldwide.

Solution 5: Insight Engine

Jessica Tee Orika-Owunna said she wishes there were an AI-powered tool that automatically pulls customer insights from sales calls, support chats, and product data into one place, then suggests content ideas based on what users are actually struggling with. 

“Most tools focus on writing or SEO, but I haven’t seen one that truly brings together real customer insights and internal expertise to guide the content creation process,” she said.

Solution 6: Identity Bridge

Women in tech actually wish someone would create a universal, friction-free “Identity Bridge” that allows users to move between decentralised apps as easily as the everyday web, without the technical burden of managing multiple wallets and security keys.

Solution 7: Social Web3

The Web3 queen, Gloria Chimelu, wishes to see a decentralised social media app that is easy to use, easy to onboard people, and is just fun. 

“Many of the decentralised social media apps these days are hard to set up, boring, or just so cumbersome. We really need that,” she said.

Solution 8: Gamified soft skill learning app for kids

It’s amazing to know that the tech solution of a DevOps expert like Deborah Osagie is a gamified life-skills learning platform for toddlers and young children that teaches financial literacy, public speaking, confidence, and critical thinking in one integrated system.

“Traditional schools focus heavily on academics, but soft skills like communication, money management, and decision-making are rarely taught early. I wish there were an interactive, story-based digital world where children could earn, save, present ideas, solve problems, and build confidence in age-appropriate ways, all while parents track their growth,” Deborah said.

Solution 9: An instant meal cooker

Another woman in tech would love to see an instant meal cooker that prepares proper, home-style meals in minutes. Not rice pressure cooking or a cooker reheating noodles, but real food. 

“I love eating well, I just don’t always have the time or energy to cook after long, exhausting days,” Rukhayat Orekoya said.

Solution 10: Well-being Hub

Elizabeth Boluwatife Rotimi would love a platform that integrates mental, physical, and emotional well-being into one intelligent system, using AI and real-time data to anticipate needs, offer personalised interventions, and empower people to live healthier, more balanced and productive lives.
