The innovation landscape in Nigeria has continued to evolve, fueling a rapid digital transformation driven by innovation hubs. This rapid transformation comes with a need to build robust systems that will enable, support, accelerate, and sustain this growth and impact. 
In recognition and celebration of this critical movement, the <a href="https://isnhubs.org.ng/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Innovation Support Network (ISN)</a> Hubs is proud to announce the 5th edition of its Annual Gathering, set to take place from October 29th to November 1st, 2024, at the Ibom Icon Hotel in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. 
This milestone gathering, themed “Scaling Together: Building a Collaborative Culture for Nigerian Innovation,” promises to be a dynamic celebration of innovation, collaboration, and growth across the nation. 
Over the years, previous editions of the ISN Annual Gathering have been held in Lagos and the Federal Capital Territory – Abuja, and now in the bustling city of Uyo. This expansion into a new city is a testament to the growth of the Gathering into a cornerstone event for the Nigerian innovation ecosystem.
