Technology has been the bedrock of economic and infrastructural development in many nations of the world. Unfortunately, when it comes to technological innovation, Nigeria is lagging behind.
However, over the course of the past 3 years chronicling the impact of technology, Techpoint has seen a new crop of innovators and inventors rise to the challenge; the likes of Tochukwu Clinton, an Aba-based inventor with 3 patents, Lannap Selbol, a Jos-based renewable energy innovator and Olaoluwa Ayoola, a graduate of LAUTECH who builds flying engines from locally-sourced materials, to mention a few.
This is why we created Techpoint Inspired, a platform to connect people to the transformative power of technology, especially as it affects our daily lives.
In 2017, we hosted more than 1200+ tech enthusiasts at the maiden edition of Techpoint Inspired and the feedback we got from the event was amazing. This year, we are taking it to a whole new level; Techpoint Inspired will convene industry leaders, futurists, innovators and tech enthusiasts to explore the tech trends that will shape our country’s future in the years ahead.
Join us on the 29th of May, 2018 as we engage in pragmatic discussion sessions around why “The future is now”. Also, experience some of coolest technology gadgets.
Topics to be discussed are;
- The 4th Industrial revolution (Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and IoT): Are we ready?
- Blockchain technology: What comes first, opportunity or threat?
- The Future of Money: Cryptocurrency, Fintech, and Banks
- Smart Work: The future of working in Nigeria
- Fast-tracking the change from analog to digital
- Policy frameworks: What should the government be doing?
- The benefits of smart cities and smart communities
- Innovation Syndrome: Battle for Unicorn status
