Lagos Startup Week 2018 : a Rundown of events
Lagos Startup Week prides itself as a forerunner in the race towards an innovation driven city.
In the context of entrepreneurship, innovation should be one of its backbones. Learning from previous models and improving substantially on them should be an integral part of our entrepreneurial culture.
