Additionally, the conference will identify, unveil and provide required funding and other resources to the next wave of promising entrepreneurs.

“We have observed that there is a lot of attention paid to SMEs in Nigeria by the government, NGOs and the private sector. Very little is done to boost scalable entrepreneurship. We seek to draw attention to the Nigerian Start-up ecosystem so that investors, aspiring entrepreneurs, policy makers will all contribute their quotas to boosting Start-ups in Nigeria.” said Ayo Sopitan, CEO of Zoom Runner Technologies Inc.
