Nigeria Innovation Week
Innovation in the 21st century is putting nations ahead of the others. Nigeria Innovation Week is a week set aside to showcase innovative businesses, ideas, products and services from Nigeria.
It reviews the state of innovation in Nigeria – where we are today and how we can move forward.
Participation in this week-long event is open to local and international businesses, organisations, government agencies, startups, entrepreneurs, research centres, tertiary institutions, and all the stakeholders in the innovation ecosystem.
The week is packed with several activities like innovation exhibitions, Nigeria Innovation Summit, Nigeria Innovation Awards, and the yearly report of the State of Innovation in Nigeria.
The Nigeria Innovation Summit
Nigeria Innovation Summit is an annual event that brings together stakeholders from different sectors of Nigeria’s economy to share ideas, trends, opportunities around technology, innovation and entrepreneurship development, and how Nigeria can leverage on innovation ecosystems around the world to grow a sustainable economy.
We partner with the world’s leading innovation providers from academic community, government and industry in order to connect Nigerian businesses and innovators to global innovation ecosystems.
Our goal is that we come together across industries and sectors, learn from outside perspectives and engage, connect to develop strategies that work for our country through building a culture of technology, innovation and entrepreneurship.
The African Innovation Academy
African Innovation Academy is an Innovation Accelerator for African businesses and start-ups and supports African Entrepreneurs and Innovators by managing their innovations and ensures they implement disruptive innovative ideas.
We enroll Startups into our online Innovation and Entrepreneurship programs, get them trained by world-class experts, connect them to investors, innovation ecosystems around the world, help them build a global brand, and also provide support through their growth. We support Start-ups and small businesses on our network with seed funding and also introduce them to our global partners who will be willing to invest in them.
The Open Innovation Nigeria
Open Innovation Nigeria is a virtual innovation platform which is an ecosystem of researchers, entrepreneurs, startups, innovators, SMEs, corporate organisations, government agencies, international organsations and investors. The platform connects Solution Seekers to Solution Providers and helps deliver tangible solutions to real business challenges, thereby fostering collaborations and partnerships.
The Open Innovation (OI) Nigeria is a digital space approach that decentralises innovation to leverage the increasing mobility of knowledge and innovation. Instead of organisations expending large chunks of their resources on internal Research and Development (R&D) to innovate, they collaborate with external solution providers and incorporate the external ideas (technologies, products, services and processes) into their business to accelerate innovation.
The Techtrends Africa

It is an online resource center that offers practical solutions to Africans whether you know about technology or not.
