NICE Launches Pipeline Clinics for Nigerian Entrepreneurs

The Nigeria Innovation Cluster Exchange (NICE) has opened applications for its Pipeline Clinics, targeting Nigerian entrepreneurs and businesses within six identified innovation clusters. This capacity-building programme is implemented by The Nest Innovation Technology Park in collaboration with the UK-Nigeria Tech Hub, under the UK Government’s Digital Access Programme, and the Office for Nigerian Digital Innovation (ONDI).

Oluwajoba Oloba, co-founder of The Nest Innovation Technology Park, stated that NICE aims to strengthen Nigeria's organic innovation ecosystem through knowledge sharing and government resources. The initiative acknowledges the support from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), UK TechHub, and ONDI under the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA).

The Pipeline Clinics are open to Nigerian-owned or Nigeria-based businesses that have an existing business, start-up, prototype, product, service, or a clearly defined business model.
