TechPoint Inspired is a technology event which brings together industry leaders, tech enthusiasts, innovators and career professionals. The event creates a platform to discuss, share ideas and experiences, and explore the prevalent tech trends. It aims to shape the future of Nigeria’s tech ecosystem by inspiring the country’s upcoming generation, and is inspired by a strong desire to drive economic development in Africa through technological innovation.
The event is hosted by indigenous front-line tech company Techpoint.ng, and had its maiden edition in May 2017. TechPoint Inspired explores the possibilities available with new technologies like Blockchain, IoT, AI/VR, smart cities, and robotics, and determines how indigenous businesses can leverage on these futuristic technologies.
The event will feature presentations and panel discussions from industry leaders, hands-on experience with some cool hi-tech gadgets, networking with other participants and mentors, and much more. Last year’s TechPoint Inspired event saw over 1200 enthusiastic participants, and this year’s event promises to be even more exciting with 5000+ participants expected.
