Come, let’s reimagine the future through the lens of African ingenuity.
The Innovation and Technology Management Office (ITMO), of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), is revolutionising the world of innovation in tertiary institutions by facilitating and implementing the process of identifying, protecting, marketing/disseminating and licensing inventions, technologies, and creations of members of the UNILAG community. This is done in order to benefit the public in keeping with the vision of the University in its pursuit of excellence in knowledge, character and service to serve humanity.
African Technology & Innovation Institute (ATII), is a global technology knowledge transfer hub for policy relevant and needs-based research & development focused on Africa.
Sabi Africa Network, with the word ‘Sabi’ meaning ‘know’ in the Nigerian Pidgin, was founded to amplify the true narrative of the African innovations in Science Engineering, & Technology (SET). It echoes the voice of African accomplishments in SET, thereby inspiring the next generation to position Africa as a global leader in scientific and technological development.
