Africa, the organizers of the prestigious Nigeria Innovation Summit (NIS) have
announced the top agenda for the event.
Now in its 8th year, the Nigeria Innovation Summit (NIS) is an annual event that
brings together stakeholders from different sectors of the economy to discuss
ground-breaking ideas, trends, opportunities, and numerous verticals to
accelerate innovation, attain global competitiveness, and explore present
innovative approaches to fixing existing problems, redundant economic
playbooks, systems, and structures.
Disclosing the event’s agenda, Mr. Tony Ajah, the Programme Director of the Summit, says, “This year’s event with
the theme Innovating
For The Future will explore how cutting-edge technologies such
as artificial intelligence, blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and
virtual/augmented reality can shape the future, including their potential
applications across various industries such as health, agriculture, financial services,
education, security, construction, renewable energy/clean-tech, and other
critical sectors.”
Also speaking at the event, Grace
Akinosun, Partner at Nigeria Innovation Summit said “Innovation
remains a non-exhaustive topic globally. It has become a necessity to keep
igniting conversations to demystify important frameworks that have proven to
work in environments similar to ours. The NIS is designed to be the springboard
of such insights and challenge the minds of stakeholders to begin leveraging
innovation for more global competitiveness and digital acceleration.”
