AWIT Startup Alley is part of SMW Lagos’ larger commitment to ensuring women are an integral part of conference programming and ongoing initiatives.
“Women make noteworthy contributions to the tech space and all industries for that matter. Yet, women are often not given the same consideration as their male counterparts.” states Ngozi Odita, Co-Founder and Executive Director of SMW Lagos. “As an organization we believe that continued African progress and sustainable economic development can only be achieved if all citizens are empowered and given the capacity to move Africa forward. This is why SMW Lagos has made it a priority to put forth programming that is inclusive and more gender balanced. Our AWIT Startup Alley is one of several programs such programs.”
The Dangote Group will host the AWIT Startup Alley demo presentation and installation on the 1st of March as part of SMW Lagos 2017. To apply to be one of 5 featured startups visit: https://socialmediawee
