The festival, themed ‘Beyond Boundaries: Poverty Eradication through Entrepreneurship,’ promises to provide a platform for government, corporate organisations and entrepreneurs to collaborate towards solving pressing global challenges, including climate change, hunger, poverty, and inequality.
The three-day event slated to be held at the Entrepreneurship Village between November 22 and 24, will attract 20 million viewers across over 67 countries, with 5,000 participants, 43 global speakers lined up and 17 plus television stations ready to plug in.
Speaking at a media parley and theme unveiling ceremony held at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos last week, a member of the GEF Board and Chairman of the Entrepreneurship Village, Dan Walkovitz, said the festival is designed to eradicate poverty in Nigeria.
