The Kano State Information Technology Development Agency (KASITDA) has announced the official launch of the Kano Digital Innovation Hub (KDIH) Accreditation 2025. The agency is inviting all digital and innovation hubs operating across the state to register for accreditation aimed at strengthening Kano’s growing technology ecosystem.
According to KASITDA, the initiative is focused on “ensuring standards and driving innovation” among tech hubs, co-working spaces, startup incubators, and innovation centers. The agency stated that accredited hubs will gain “state recognition and visibility,” along with access to government-backed programs, networking opportunities, and compliance with state digital standards.
“The Kano Digital Innovation Hub Accreditation seeks to promote excellence and recognize credible hubs that drive meaningful impact in technology, entrepreneurship, and digital skills development,” the statement read. KASITDA emphasized that the program will serve as a foundation for growth, collaboration, and investment in the state’s digital economy.
Eligible applicants include tech hubs, innovation centers, co-working spaces, and startup incubators or accelerators. Interested enterprises are required to complete the accreditation form available via the link https://kasitda.ng/kano-digital-hubs-accreditation/, undergo screening and assessment, and then receive their accreditation status.
KASITDA noted that submission of an application does not guarantee accreditation. The agency also announced that the deadline for submission is October 31, 2025, urging all qualified hubs to register early to be part of Kano’s digital transformation drive.
