From the lagoons of Lagos to the mangrove of Calabar, from the plains of Sokoto to the plateau of Jos, all the way to the rainforest of Owerri, there is an entrepreneurial explosion in Nigeria, and it is unprecedented. Powered by microprocessors, mathematics, the beautiful science of numbers, is being transmuted by software, eating everything on its path.
And in the process, it is making a better sense of the nation, as entrepreneurs pursue the grand mission of fixing market frictions. Unlike the golden decade (the 1990s) of Nigerian entrepreneurship when amalgam of new generation banks were born, seeding a new age in the nation’s financial system, this new moment cuts across sectors. From energy to healthcare, agriculture to logistics and even financial services, Nigeria is being redesigned by the combinatorial powers of software to arrange, rearrange and make sense of atoms and bytes.
With cloud computing, immersive connectivity, and mobile devices, a 21st century Cambrian moment is emerging in Nigeria: the data everywhere is meeting cheap, ubiquitous and intelligent digital systems to process them. This is our time: welcome to Nigeria’s Cambrian Moment. And I invite you to join us at Tekedia OPEN as follows:
