AKWA-IBOM TECH WEEK 2024: BUILDING A RESILIENT INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM
My Experience at Akwa Ibom Tech Week 2024
This week, I had the incredible opportunity to serve as a guest speaker at the Akwa Ibom Tech Week 2024, an event that brought together brilliant minds, tech enthusiasts, and industry leaders under the theme: “Building a Resilient Innovation Ecosystem.”
The energy in the room was electric as we explored what it truly means to foster a culture of innovation that can withstand challenges and adapt to the rapidly changing technological landscape. I shared insights on the importance of collaboration, sustainable practices, and empowering young innovators to drive long-term success.
Key takeaways from the event included:
- Investing in Local Talent: Supporting tech hubs and training centers to nurture homegrown innovators.
- Collaboration Across Sectors: Building bridges between tech communities, academia, and industries to solve real-world problems.
- Resilience Through Adaptability: Encouraging startups to embrace change and leverage emerging technologies.
It was inspiring to connect with passionate individuals who are committed to transforming Akwa Ibom into a tech powerhouse. The event reminded me that innovation isn’t just about creating new things—it’s about building systems that endure and thrive.
A big thank you to the organizers and participants for making this event unforgettable. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible!
I’m looking forward to next year’s edition and hope to contribute even more actively to the growth of our tech ecosystem.
