StartupSouth has announced its plan to host an innovation summit for entrepreneurs in the South- South and South East region of the country.
The summit which is scheduled to take place February 7 -8, 2020 in Enugu will bring together stakeholders in the tech industry to lead the conversation for collaboration that drives entrepreneurial innovation.
Conversations at the summit will cover the state of the ecosystem, human capital development and collaborative goals for the regions’ innovation community leaders.
“Enugu is happy to host the innovation community stakeholders from across the South-South/South-East at this summit,” said Arinze Chilo-Offiah, special adviser on SME & Investment.
“The SME Centre’s partnership is a reflection of the current aspirations of Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s administration signalling that Enugu is more than ready for business. Enugu’s leadership is hugely motivated to energize the SME, creative and digital economy space,” he added.
On why they are hosting, Ekene Odum, operations director at Genesys Tech Hub said, we are supporting this summit because at Genesys Tech Hub, we believe that collaboration achieves greater results than individual dispersed efforts can.
Speaking about the event, Uche Aniche – the convener of #StartupSouth – said, this second edition will afford ecosystem leaders the opportunity to reflect on the progress achieved so far and chart a new course for the regional innovation community in the new decade.
Speakers include Kingsley Eze, Founder of Tenecee, Arinze Chilo-Offiah, SA, SME Development and head, SME Centre, Enugu, Ibifuro Asawo, co-founder Cinfores & SSA, ICT, Rivers State among others.
The summit is powered by #StartupSouth and supported by GenesysTech Hub, Digital Dreams, Greenage Technologies and Enugu SME Centre.
