About this event

Join us on November 15th, 2024, as we host a special fireside chat with Uche Aniche, the convener of #StartupSouth and a driving force in the South-South and South-East startup ecosystems of Nigeria. Uche has dedicated his career to fostering innovation and empowering entrepreneurs in secondary cities, ensuring that local talent has the support and opportunities they need to thrive.

Beyond his role at Startup South, Uche is also the Founder and CEO of Havilah & Hills, a strategy and digital transformation firm, and an advisor to numerous startups across Africa. His commitment to building sustainable tech ecosystems has made him a key advocate for keeping local talent engaged and preventing the drain to larger cities like Lagos, Abuja, or global hubs like Silicon Valley.

In this session titled "Building Sustainable Tech Ecosystems in Secondary Cities," Uche will discuss strategies for developing robust tech communities outside of major urban centers and share insights on how to create opportunities that encourage talent to stay and grow locally. We’ll explore ways to build a thriving ecosystem that supports innovation, attracts investment, and ensures that no potential goes untapped.

Don't miss this chance to learn from a leader who is shaping the future of tech in Nigeria's secondary cities. Register now to be part of the conversation that’s set to transform our local startup communities.
