Speaking on the initiative, NITDA stated, “We are excited to support women entrepreneurs through IgniteHER. This program will equip them with essential business, financial, and digital skills, including exposure to Artificial Intelligence tools.”

Participants will gain improved business planning, financial literacy, and investment readiness, alongside networking and mentorship opportunities with women committed to driving innovation in Nigeria’s tech ecosystem.

NITDA confirmed, “Top-performing businesses will be selected for a special study trip to Japan to attend a startup event. This is a life-changing opportunity for women entrepreneurs ready to scale.”
