The DELTA STATE ICT Innovation Hub

Special Executive Media Brief
In Recognition of Its Distinguished Corporate Status in the Advocacy and Promotion of Science, Technology & Innovation (STI) in Nigeria, Africa and the world.
 
 
As Nigeria moves into the 21st century its wealth and international competitiveness will be significantly influenced by her ability to develop and exploit intellectual capital (IP) by harnessing the power of information technology (IT).
Indeed, many of the new business opportunities for Nigerian firms will depend on their capacity to develop Innovative IT-based solutions, products and services which respond to the expanding role of Science and Technology across the economic development Ecosystem and sustainable society.
In both government and the business world, the organisations which benefit most from the transformative role of IT are those which treat IT as a key strategic resource for achieving organisational goals rather than as a purely technical input.
At DS-IHUB, we recognise your organisation and Domain expertise as a leading proponent, future hope and promoter of Innovation as demonstrated by your huge commitment to the advocacy of deploying technology for national development and wealth creation.
