A meticulously organized event, the Omniverse Summit, took place at the Landmark event facility from February 27 to March 1, 2024, and brought together the best minds in African technology, innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship.
The Summit aspires to unite tech, innovation, creative, and business groups, not replace them. It allows people and organisations to share information, resources, and solutions to our continents and communities’ complicated technology problems.
The ISN helped the Omniverse environment—a national network of 180 Digital Transformation Centre Nigeria-supported innovation hubs, incubators, accelerators, and coworking spaces. GIZ GmbH implements BMZ and EU-sponsored DTC Nigeria.
Four (4) days of substantive discussion centred on feasible results will be included in the Omniverse Summit. These days, it was planned to produce workable action plans organised around creating stories, stimulating creativity, encouraging teamwork, and enabling revenue. All days of The Omniverse Summit will focus on one theme, allowing for a multidimensional exploration.
The Narrative Day (Day One) will examine how narratives about Africa and Africans determine our self-perception, global image, economics, society, and geopolitics and how to rebuild, reframe, and reclaim these myths for our shared future.
