Globally, technology and innovation are key drivers of growth, and locally, the tech community is at the forefront of the ongoing digital revolution. To promote the burgeoning growth of Nigeria’s tech sector, leading financial institution, Union Bank has launched a technological and innovation hub known as SpaceNXT.
Located within the Union Bank Head Office in Lagos Nigeria, SpaceNXT is a future-forward purpose-designed co-working hub for innovators, creators, and techpreneurs to promote innovation and encourage collaboration within the ecosystem in Nigeria.
Designed by Space Finish, the idea for the hub was conceived as part of the bank’s mission to enable success for the tech community in Nigeria, by providing a sandbox for culture change and an enabling lever to drive innovation and technology in Nigeria. SpaceNXT is a launching pad for innovators to collaborate, develop and improve on ideas around digital systems and technology.
The launch event which was held on April 7th, 2022, in Lagos, Nigeria had prominent members of the tech community in attendance including Special Guest of Honour, Mr. Tunbosun Alake, Special Adviser on Innovation and Technology to the Governor of Lagos State. He officially opened the space alongside the executives of the Bank and lauded the Bank’s efforts to establish itself as a bonafide trusted partner for the future generation.
Besides being a hub for sharing and generating innovative ideas, SpaceNXT will also serve as a venue for tech and innovation events, hackathons, trainings, and meetings. Union Bank remains committed to the acceleration of the technological landscape in Nigeria.
