The Telecommunication and Technology Sustainability Working Group (TTSWG) has initiated the Innovation Makers Challenge (IMC) boot camp to prepare young innovators and startup founders with sustainable tech-driven business concepts and products to expand their ventures.

Following the call for entries for participation in the IMC Go-To-Talent challenge, which closed on October 16, 2023, a rigorous selection process identified 20 applicants who will advance to the IMC boot camp. The boot camp will take place from Wednesday, November 1, to Friday, November 3, 2023. The selected applicants include Fatima Zahra Yusuf, Taiwo Akinsanya, Eyitayo Onigbinde, Oluwapelumi Yusuf, Elijah Moses, Dirug Samuel, Victoria Ubani, Joseph Ojighoro, Benaye Egbe, Wasiu Adeleke, Nnaemeka Afogu, Emmanuel Eneh, Stephanie Omolu, Munura Maihankali, Bashir Abubakar, Kennedy Afia, Chioma Nnanna, Valentine Nnamani, John Akalagboro, and Fortune Declan.

The Boot Camp will offer young innovators valuable training and mentorship under the guidance of distinguished industry leaders. This program aims to equip them with practical insights necessary for successfully managing ventures and prepare them for the IMC Conference Grand Finale pre-pitch scheduled for Friday, November 3, 2023. During this pre-pitch event, a panel of judges will select the top five finalists who will compete in the Grand Finale of the Innovation Makers Challenge, set to take place on Thursday, November 9, 2023.

The selection process for the winners will be thorough and will involve a distinguished panel of six judges: Kate Hancock, Founder of Metaverse XYZ and advocate for Web 3.0; Oluwole Asalu, CEO of Quomodo Systems Africa; Yomi Awobokun, Founder of CE-IV and Member of the World Economic Forum; Temitope Yusuff, Director of Internal Audit and Risk Management at IHS Nigeria; Jide Odunsi, Co-founder of Moove & JCDecaux Grace Lake; Valentine Obidi, Venture Capitalist; and Myke Oseh, Venture Capitalist. The top three overall winners will be awarded cash prizes of N2,000,000, N1,000,000, and N500,000, respectively.

Bekeme Olowola, Lead Consultant at the TTSWG Secretariat, commented, “Nigeria is rich in talent that needs more support, encouragement, and development to flourish and become major contributors to the nation’s economic growth. However, the country has often celebrated ideas that have no significant impact on national development. The IMC is designed to celebrate and empower young creatives in the technology space who can make a positive difference. We invite everyone in this age group from all over the country to apply at www.ttswg-imc.com and follow @ttswg on all social media channels for more information.”

The IMC conference, scheduled for Thursday, November 9, 2023, at Eko Hotel Victory Island, Lagos, Nigeria, will showcase a diverse lineup of prominent international speakers. Among them are Kate Hancock, the Founder of Metaverse XYZ; Oluwole Asalu, Chief Executive and Founder of Quomodo Systems Africa; Lanre Bamisebi, the Executive Director of Access Corporation; Chuks Ekwueme, the Chairman of UNICCON Group, and many others.
