This is an event targeted at building knowledge and awareness around Disruptive technologies and how people, Governments, Organisations, SMEs can leverage on it for higher efficiency and productivity. In this Fourth Industrial revolution, technologies are already eliminating and altering the conventional boundaries that exist in the business value chain. While advanced economies are prepared for this revolution, Nigeria and Africa has little or no participation which is dangerous for business and people as they hold the solutions to several major problems in Africa and also cuts across all sectors and industries. The fourth Industrial revolution is already upon us as Disruptive Technologies like IoT, Data analytics, Cloud technology, Artificial Intelligence, Augmented/Virtual Reality to mention a few, are already altering the way people live their lives and run their businesses in other regions of the world. If you have a strong affinity for the new wave of technology, you should be at this event.
