Tech4Dev (Technology for Social Change and Development Initiative) has announced the Nigeria Creative Ecosystem Report Dissemination and Creative Tracker Launch, describing it as a milestone event aimed at unlocking opportunities in the country’s growing creative economy.
In a statement, the organization said, “For the first time ever, we will unveil the Nigeria Creative Digital Tracker, a pioneering tool designed to map opportunities, strengthen innovation, and provide actionable insights across film, music, fashion, and digital content creation.”
The event is the outcome of extensive research carried out across seven pilot states in Nigeria and is set to bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and creative professionals. According to Tech4Dev, the initiative is focused on helping Nigeria’s creative economy grow, scale, and thrive globally through technology, data, and digital innovation.
A special address will be delivered by Oyinkansola Akintola-Bello, Director, UK–Nigeria Tech Hub, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). She is expected to reaffirm the UK–Nigeria Tech Hub’s support for the growth of Nigeria’s creative sector and highlight the importance of international collaboration.
Tech4Dev explained that the launch marks the close-out of the Nigeria Creative Growth and Innovation Initiative (NCGEII). “Together, we take a bold step towards strengthening and scaling Nigeria’s creative ecosystem for global impact. We’re excited to see what the future holds for the sector and how this research and the Creative Tracker will shape its continued growth,” the organization stated.
This development is expected to boost digital transformation, creative industry investment, and job creation opportunities in Nigeria.
