Techeconomy, a leading digital media startup in Nigeria, has said it will organise a special session at the forthcoming #StartupSouth8 in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on October 5-6, 2023.

The eighth edition of #StartupSouth’s annual event has as its central theme: ‘Deep & Bold: 5IR, Emerging Realities, Regional Economic Imperatives & The Role of Innovation’.

Through the session hosting programme, Techeconomy will delve into the sub-theme: ‘5IR: Media Innovation for Regional and Economic Growth’.

The panellists include Editor, Techeconomy, Peter Oluka; General Manager, RedCloud Technologies Nigeria, Ebere Ogwumoyi; Managing Director, Shimol Services Limited, Victor Siokwu, and Founder/Creative Director, CapitalTV, Ndume Green.

Commenting on the objectives of the media session at #StartupSouth8, Oluka said the development of any innovation relied heavily on public perception which means that people’s understanding of any technology was shaped, majorly, by the media.

“The media also keeps a check on public policy by throwing a spotlight on government action. They let people voice diverse opinions on governance and reform and help build public consensus to bring about change,” Oluka said.
