In 2013, the potential positioning of Nigeria as a hub for innovation and software development was boosted by the visit of the former Ministry of Communication Technology, Mrs Omobola Johnson to Silicon Valley with a carefully selected group of entrepreneurs and companies.
2016 is the year Africans builds products that the world finally takes notice of, and the the
Pocket Presents team have come up with
TechInSV to help entrepreneurs
and established businesses learn how.
In
Nigeria today, over 200 blogs are opened daily, dream start-ups in technology, fashion,
food, blogging, makeup, etc are opened and closed by passionate Nigerians who
face problems of poor infrastructure, cost of marketing/finding right product,
building products that can support high user adoption or what techies call
scalability and high availability.
To
help us learn how we can build these products by interacting directly with
product engineers, marketers and others in Silicon Valley, Pocket Presents, a
Nigerian based platform focused on global knowledge transfer has collaborated with The
African Network (TAN) and The African Technology Foundation (ATF) to allow 30
Nigerians visit silicon valley based companies like Google, Facebook, Airbnb, 500
Startups, Uber, Twitter, Paypal, Stripe, eBay, 4info, Oracle, SAP.
The 7-day visit is focused on
learning from leading technology teams but will also give a taste of what life
is like in a growing startup as well as an inhabitant of the San Francisco bay
area (commonly called “The Bay Area” or “The Bay”).
The trip will cost $5400
inclusive of flights, hotel, feeding and visits, and serious entrepreneurs,
Heads of Technology, Systems Architects and
Developers,E-Banking Heads/Teams, Telecom
Technical Teams and Technology media can indicate
interest and attend a special mixer on Thursday March 3, 2015 at Cafe NEO,
Victoria Island Lagos by registering on the website HERE-à bit.ly/TechInSV

Whatever.
I hope Nigerians will embrace science and technology like Asia and join the technological growth, instead of studying 'Law'. Lawyers everywhere with nothing to do. The days of depending on petroleum wealth is also gone, as America the biggest customer now produces their own oil they left in reserve for fifty years.We should encourage people to be innovative that's what's moving countries forward. Everybody is now a lawyer in Nigeria, it is not moving us forward technologically and scientifically.
