Ahead of its 8th Economic Summit – EHINGBETI 2021, the Lagos State Government in partnership with leading technology platform, Techuncode wants to organize a preparatory Hub activation for interested participants.
The preparatory hub activation which also serves as a training medium will allow youths and young adults to address and collaboratively engage key arising matters in the society.
According to Techuncode, driving a conversation within smaller tech communities and hubs creates another opportunity for the government to interface with citizens and get solid feedback and opinions on pressing issues.
These recommendations can subsequently form a critical aspect of the government’s response to those issues in time. Hence, the importance of this program.
While the activation program will be broken down into eight series, it will be hosted virtually by various tech communities and hubs across the State.
The series which is taking plays a few days ahead of the main Ehingbeti event (scheduled for 16th, 17th, and 18th of February) will feature seasoned speakers from different fields and works.
Themed “shaping the future of governance with technology”, this particular series will be hosted virtually by Impact Hub on Friday, 12th of February, 2021.
However, participants who stay close to the hub located at 7A Milverton Rd, Ikoyi, Lagos, can attend physically.
The event will kick at 2pm prompt and will span through 4pm in the evening. Click this link to register
Keynote Speakers at the event include Kristin Wilson (Lead Strategist, Spurt Business Consulting), Patrick Eromosele (CEO, Impact Hub Lagos), and Isioma Udeozo (Previous Channel Lead, English Speaking West Africa, CISCO).
These seasoned speakers with notable backgrounds are all equipped with the right skill set to address the subject matter in-depth.
Commenting on the need to come up with the initiative, Techuncode GM, Arinola Gelor said that “We believe every tech community cluster in Lagos should be engaged towards the Ehingbeti Economic Summit as they form a major stakeholder in the Economic development of Lagos State, so we decided to co-host this Activation event.“
Techuncode also believes that the initiative is another way of mobilizing stakeholders within the industry with a greater purpose of achieving collectively, the “Lagos dream.”
Also supported by other corporate entities including Africa Tech Radio (ATR), Teksightedge Ltd., and Beyond Perception; the activation series promises to be an interesting one.
