Ibom Innovation Network, an ecosystem of stakeholders dedicated to promoting technology development in Akwa Ibom State, has unveiled plans for the Akwa Ibom TechWeek 2024, which seeks to enhance digital skills development, while leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.

Speaking at a gathering in Lagos at the weekend to unveil plans for Akwa Ibom TechWeek 2024, President, Ibom Innovation Network, Mr. Hanson Johnson, said the purpose of the gathering was to draw public attention to the activities lined up for Akwa Ibom TechWeek 2024, adding that the platform offers opportunities for Nigerians to think about technology development that will promote national development. “Akwa Ibom TechWeek 2024 will build on the success of last years’ event and we will be showcasing latest hardware and software at this year’s gathering,” Johnson said.  

Chairman, Ibom Innovation Network, Mr. Unwana Esang, called for partnerships from Nigerian citizens across various states, who are interested in driving technology development for national growth.

“We are passionate about technology development that will promote national growth. Partnering with Akwa Ibom TechWeek, will not only brig about technology development in Akwa Ibom State, but also across all other states in the country, with the intention to divest technology investment to different states of the country. The Akwa Ibom TechWeek, which started 2022, is already in its third year, and promises to enhance technology development in the state and to export tech talents and solutions to other states in Nigeria,” Esang said.
