The Nigeria Startup Bill: National Stakeholders Roundtable

The Nigeria Startup Bill is a joint initiative by Nigeria’s tech startup ecosystem and the Presidency to harness the potential of Nigeria’s digital economy through co-created regulations. If implemented, the Nigeria Startup Bill would assist in unlocking value in the business environment by increasing local support for entrepreneurs and attraction to global venture capital investors. This would spur innovation, create jobs, and build trust between the government and entrepreneur.

 

This Pre-Summit Event for #NES 27 seeks to:

● Discuss Nigeria’s long-term vision for innovation and the impact of government decisions on the development of Nigeria’s technology entrepreneurship ecosystem

● Evaluate the opportunities that the Nigeria Startup Bill will unlock for Nigeria’s technology entrepreneurship ecosystem

● Discuss key provisions of the Nigeria Startup Bill and get commitment from key representatives from the National Assembly that the bill will be passed into law

● Facilitate the involvement of key stakeholders from the public and private sectors and lay the foundation for on-going collaboration for the development of Nigeria’s technology entrepreneurship ecosystem.
