GITEX Nigeria is a premier technology and innovation gathering, serving as a convergence point for government leaders, private sector innovators, development partners, academia, and young entrepreneurs to showcase emerging technologies, exchange knowledge, and foster strategic collaborations. Positioned as the Nigerian edition of the globally renowned GITEX platform, the event provides unparalleled visibility for the country’s digital economy ecosystem and creates opportunities to accelerate the adoption of technology-driven solutions for sustainable development.
The
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), as a strategic partner, is committed to leveraging this platform to highlight the role of technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship in advancing inclusive and sustainable development in Nigeria and across Africa. Through its work with governments, academic institutions, start-ups, and youth, UNDP is actively shaping innovation ecosystems that foster homegrown solutions to pressing development challenges.
At GITEX Nigeria, UNDP will showcase timbuktoo, its pan-African innovation initiative designed to mobilize transformative start-up ecosystems across key thematic areas including fintech, creative economy, healthtech, manutech, minetech and greentech. This aligns with UNDP’s broader agenda of positioning Nigeria and Africa as hubs of innovation capable of creating jobs, building resilience, and driving structural transformation.
To maintain the quality and strategic impact of these engagements, UNDP seeks the expertise of a professional event management firm. This engagement will ensure that all events are strategically planned, seamlessly executed, and aligned with the UNDP’s objectives of fostering a dynamic and inclusive innovation environment in Nigeria.
