Joshua Adedeji, Global Alliance Africa said:
Innovate Ekiti was developed to solve the challenges of lack of access to information by aggregating all relevant information about the innovation ecosystem players in one platform. We hope to have a ecosystem that is well connected, and one which all players have timely access to relevant information for the prosperity of the innovation ecosystem.
The platform provides a comprehensive overview of key stakeholders, startups, universities, incubators, research institutions, investors, and accelerators. It will give access to a detailed directory, enabling them to identify potential collaborators and synergies in the ecosystem in order to take their project idea or business further.
We want Ekiti State to not only be a source of knowledge, but also a source of innovation.
– Professor Ayodele Ajayi, Head of Sustainability, Prunedge, and Board Member of Ekiti State Innovation Action Advisory Group, Global Alliance Africa
Innovate Ekiti is not just an online mapping platform. It is a tool that has the potential to shape the future of Ekiti State by connecting people for positive change. We invite all stakeholders, visionaries, and leaders in to join us on this exciting journey to create an ecosystem the celebrates growth and innovation.
