As a result of the global financial melt down which touched all the nooks and crannies of the world today and despite the stimuli provided by advanced countries like USA, UK and France to cushion the adverse effects of their financial crunch, salaries were slashed and jobs have been lost in various economic sectors. Presently individuals including most corporate organizations have lost confidence in portfolio investments. The question is: ”What next”?
In Nigeria, we have men and women with great ideas who are willing to take the plunge to attain greater heights. Startup Weekend Nigeria will avail you with opportunities to explore and bring out the best in you, because it is for those who have business focus.
Startup Weekend Nigeria is a digression from our mono-economy (economic system based on oil revenue) to other viable business opportunities like the dotcom boom.
Startup weekend has been operationally successful in over 13 countries and over 53 cities worldwide within 24 months with over 5,000 attendees and over 168 companies created so far. It is the first time in the West African sub region that we are going to have the Startup Weekend in October, in the mega city of Lagos, Nigeria. Startup Weekend is here to revolutionize the Nigerian economy and build dynamic social community networks for the benefit of all.
