The Nigeria Innovation Summit (NIS) will hold its eighth iteration on October 6 at the Muson Centre in Lagos with the goal of providing a platform that encourages cooperation between government organizations, businesses, international organizations, innovators, researchers, the academic community, and startups.
The latest NIS will have the theme “Innovating For The Future,” and it will bring together significant players from various economic sectors to talk about cutting-edge concepts, trends, opportunities, and a variety of verticals to speed up innovation and solutions that address specific problems in Nigeria and the rest of the African continent.
Additionally, it gives Nigerian entrepreneurs, researchers, and innovators the chance to present their creative concepts as well as solutions for commercialization and industrial application.
“This is the time for Nigeria, with her vibrant population, to leverage emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual and augmented reality, blockchain, Internet of Things, robotics, nanotechnology, geonomics, and data sciences, and apply them in critical sectors to solve local problems,” said programme director Tony Ajah.
“The opportunities and new businesses provided and created by these new technologies are enormous, and we can’t afford to sleep on it as a people. As individuals, organisations, and nations around the world are exploring different playbooks to innovate and improve the quality of their lives, Nigeria should not be left out.”
