Themed “The AI Revolution: Transforming Lagos into Africa’s Digital Powerhouse,” the event brought together leading voices in technology, policy, and enterprise to explore the immense potential of artificial intelligence and its applications in reshaping the future of Lagos and Africa at large.
In his address at the occasion, Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said the Lagos State government has created an enabling environment for technology innovation to thrive in the state, through its deliberate policies and investments. The enabling environment, according to him, spurred the Lagos-based startups to raise over $1.2 billion, which is 75 per cent of all startup investments in Nigeria in 2023.
