Spotlight on Lagos Angel Network (LAN): Powering Nigeria’s Startup Ecosystem 🚀 One of the most influential drivers of early-stage innovation in Africa is the Lagos Angel Network (LAN)⁠, a community of experienced angel investors dedicated to supporting high-potential startups across Nigeria and the broader African ecosystem. Founded in 2011 by pioneering investors Tomi Davies and Dotun Sulaiman, LAN has played a foundational role in building angel investing structures and best practices within Nigeria’s startup landscape. What makes LAN stand out? ✅ Facilitates investments into promising early-stage startups ✅ Provides mentorship, governance support, and strategic guidance to founders ✅ Educates and equips angel investors to make informed investment decisions ✅ Advocates for policies that strengthen entrepreneurship and innovation ✅ Connects founders with a powerful network of investors, operators, and ecosystem leaders LAN’s Board and membership include some of Africa’s most respected technology, investment, and business leaders, helping founders access not only capital but also invaluable experience and networks. As Africa’s innovation economy continues to grow, organizations like LAN are demonstrating that angel investing is more than funding—it’s about building companies, creating jobs, and strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem for future generations. 🌍 For founders seeking their first institutional backing and investors looking to participate in Africa’s growth story, Lagos Angel Network remains a key pillar of the ecosystem. #AngelInvesting #Startups #VentureCapital #Innovation #Nigeria #AfricaTech #Entrepreneurship #StartupFunding #LagosAngelNetwork #EcosystemBuilding #AfricanStartups #InvestmentNetwork

𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Some of the strongest innovation ecosystems are built where research, talent, capital, and industry collaboration intersect. This session brought together academic and ecosystem leaders to discuss how universities are playing a larger role in regional economic growth, startup formation, commercialization, and technology transfer. 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿: Dave de Csepel, CEO & Executive Director, Alliance for SoCal Innovation 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀: Hala Madanat, VP for Research and Innovation, SDSU | Errol Arkilic, Chief Innovation Officer, University of California, Irvine | Anthony Lee, CEO, Westcliff University | Ian Williamson, Dean, Paul Merage School of Business, University of California, Irvine The discussion focused on how institutions can move ideas from labs into markets, support founders with real infrastructure, and strengthen regional innovation capacity through deeper partnerships. From tech transfer and entrepreneurship programs to university-led ecosystem building, the panel made one thing clear: innovation does not happen in isolation. It grows when universities, startups, investors, and industry leaders build together.

EARLY ACCESS IS A STRATEGY NOT A PERK🚀 Just received 500 credits from Adaption Labs after applying to their Ambassador Program and it’s clear they’re not just building quietly, they’re moving fast and intentionally. This week alone: ▪️ Expanding community access through the ambassador program ▪️ Powering builders with free credits to explore Adaptive Data ▪️ Showing up strong in global builder conversations (including the Singapore hackathon ecosystem) Adaptive Data is poised to revolutionize how we interact with AI, moving beyond static models to systems that continuously learn and evolve. It's about AI that adapts to us, not the other way around. This isn’t just a product push it’s ecosystem building. The real signal? They’re inviting users in before scale, not after. That’s how strong platforms win. Excited to dive deeper and provide feedback soon! 🚀 #AdaptionLabs #AdaptiveData #AI #Innovation @ecats_ #Community @sarahookr #EcosystemBuilding @sudip_r0y #FutureOfAI

Talent Pipeline Foundations at the #DeepTechUG Building AI starts long before deployment, it starts in the classroom. Speakers emphasized the need to: - Build teacher capacity through continuous training - Shift from end-product thinking to nurturing the process - Strengthen critical thinking - Promote mentorship & connect learners with industry experts The discussion made it clear: developing AI isn’t just about tools and technology, it’s about investing in people, education systems, and long-term talent pipelines. The future of AI is shaped by how we train minds today. #DeepTechUG #AIinAfrica #Education #Talent #Innovation #EcosystemBuilding

Day 2 of the Uganda Deep Technology Summit 2026 🇺🇬 begins. Today’s focus shifts to the foundations that will shape AI’s real impact: - Education & Talent - Policy, Ethics & Regulation - Society, Adoption & Humanity Beyond building systems, we’re asking the question - Do we have the skills, frameworks, and trust to scale AI responsibly? #DeepTechUG #AIinAfrica #AppliedAI #Innovation #EcosystemBuilding
