NASENI and PICTT Collaborate with MIT Solve for Innovators

The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) and the Presidential Implementation Committee on Technology Transfer (PICTT) have formed a partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s MIT Solve to assist Nigerian innovators in scaling their solutions for global competition. Ten innovators from the DELTA-2 and DELT-Her programmes will participate in a six-month acceleration programme in Boston, Massachusetts.

This initiative aims to provide technical support, mentorship, and access to funding opportunities. Dr. Dahiru Mohammed, Chairman of PICTT, stated that the selected innovators will receive tailored programming to refine their business models and enhance their pitches.

The programme will also facilitate cohort convenings with industry stakeholders to strengthen the ecosystem for early-stage Nigerian innovators. The DELTA-2 Programme focuses on helping entrepreneurs access global funding and partnerships, while DELT-Her aims to empower female engineers in Nigeria.
