Aso Villa Demo Day - Promoting Entrepreneurship



Come July 2016, the Federal Government of Nigeria will set the stage for the unveiling of "50 most innovative startups" at the first ever Aso Villa Demo Day.

President Buhari will host the brightest startups from across the country as they pitch to a wide range of investors and decision-makers in the public and private sector.

Aso Villa Demo Day is aimed at promoting entrepreneurship, innovation, job creation and economic growth through the use of new and emerging technologies.

Entrepreneurship plays a significant role in economic growth, and alleviating poverty especially in emerging economies like Nigeria. And support regarding entrepreneurship is rightly needed.

Emerging economies are characterized by an increasing market orientation and an expanding economic foundation. The success of these economies is such that they are rapidly becoming major economic forces in the world. Entrepreneurship plays a key role in this economic development.



This event will celebrate some of the best Nigerians in technology innovation and creativity and also feature inspiring talks from thought leaders and experts from different economic sectors in Nigeria.

Aso Villa Demo Day 2016 will give 100 startups the stage to pitch their ideas before a dedicated panel of Judges, Investors and Sponsors

The Pitch event would take place on Thursday, June 23rd at the Landmark Event Center, Lagos. While the unveiling would be in Abuja on Thursday, July 28th at the State House Conference Center.
