Applications are now being accepted for the Digital Residency Launchpad, an exclusive private community designed for entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals from the diaspora who are prepared to establish, expand, and invest in Africa. Itana, Africa’s first Digital Special Economic Zone, is located in Lagos.
With laws, business incentives, and services tailored for the digital economy, Itana is Africa’s first Digital Special Economic Zone and Nigeria’s first licensed digital economic zone management company. This enables international companies to operate remotely in Nigeria and incorporate in Itana’s free zone.
Its Digital Residency Launchpad program is intended for diaspora members and entrepreneurs residing in Africa who wish to reestablish ties with the continent through business and investment opportunities.
Entrepreneurs and investors can fully capitalize on the opportunities in rapidly expanding African markets by using the go-to-market support, regulatory insights, and strategic connections that participants can access.
By taking advantage of Itana’s designation as a digital special economic zone, locals can also take advantage of favorable business incentives, simplified business setups, and the opportunity to work in an innovative, policy-friendly environment.
“The Digital Residency Launchpad is designed for builders and investors who want more than just a one-off networking event,” said Mayowa Olugbile, CEO at Itana.
“It’s a community-powered experience offering the practical resources entrepreneurs need in order to thrive. Itana is seeking to become the jurisdiction of choice for African and global companies seeking to seize the growth opportunities available in this dynamic and fast-growing region. We are determined to make scaling in Africa as seamless as possible – and our new Digital Residency Launchpad initiative is another key step in this direction.”
