Innov8 Hub facilitated a workshop titled “Design Thinking Approach for AI Startups.” Our goal? To equip aspiring entrepreneurs with the tools to navigate the exciting world of AI development, all while keeping the user at the heart of the process.

Innov8 Hub recently welcomed a delegation from the Centre for Satellite Technology Development (CSTD) at the National Space Research & Development Agency (NASRDA). This exciting visit aimed to explore training opportunities and avenues for knowledge exchange in satellite technology development in Nigeria.

Innov8 Hub was abuzz with excitement and suspense on the 10th of May, 2024, as we hosted the 4th edition of the Science Quiz Competition, a prestigious initiative organized by NTA Knowledge, the educational arm of Nigeria’s largest television network, in collaboration with Innov8 Hub. This year’s edition saw a fantastic turnout, bringing together nine of Abuja’s brightest secondary schools:

The best way to predict the future is to create it.” – Alan Kay
At Innov8 Hub, we take this quote to heart. We believe in empowering the next generation of leaders to build a sustainable future. Recently, we hosted two inspiring groups of students, igniting their passion for innovation and equipping them with the tools to turn their ideas into reality.

“The youth are the spark that ignites innovation’s flame. Through their relentless curiosity, entrepreneurial spirit, and willingness to challenge the status quo, they hold the power to unlock a future brimming with possibility. By embracing innovation and taking the reins of enterprise, the younger generation can not only shape their own destinies but forge a path towards a brighter tomorrow.”

Innov8 Hub played host to a distinguished delegation from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Led by Mr. Abdourahmane Diallo, Head of Office and UNESCO Representative in Nigeria, the delegation included esteemed individuals from various educational organizations and parastatals across continents. Their visit marked a pivotal moment for Innov8 Hub, aligning with the third phase of UNESCO’s transformative Better Education for Africa (BEAR) program.

The visit commenced with a warm welcome from Innov8 Hub’s management, setting the tempo. Prof. Ayo Omotayo, Director General of NIPSS, then captivated the audience with his opening remarks. A proclaimed tech enthusiast who returned to Nigeria in 2004, Prof. Omotayo expressed his profound admiration for Innov8 Hub’s unique and inspiring space. He declared, “Since my return, I haven’t witnessed anything quite like Innov8 Hub in Nigeria.” This sentiment resonated deeply, highlighting the transformative potential of innovation hubs in shaping the nation’s future.

Innov8 Hub is a strong advocate for partnerships with stakeholders, investors, and institutions that share their vision of building a better future for Nigeria and beyond. This vision focuses on empowering Nigerians through capacity-building programs and initiatives. Governor Adeleke’s visit signifies a significant step towards achieving this vision through collaborative efforts.

In honor of International Women’s Day, Innov8 Hub recently hosted a special event dedicated to celebrating the achievements of entrepreneurs worldwide. Centered on the theme of entrepreneurial leadership, the gathering aimed to inspire innovation and empowerment within diverse communities.
