About the Award: In the last 7 years, CcHUB has supported the growth of a community that is passionate about using technology to solve local problems and transform Nigeria. One of the ways we have done this is through our incubation program, where we provide startups with the resources and support they need to grow their businesses into sustainable companies that employ people and solve local problems.
To date, over fifty (50) ideas have enjoyed our support at various levels through our incubation program, some of which include Lifebank, BudgIT, WeCyclers, Truppr, Mamalette, Stutern and Genii games.
In our quest to continue to provide the right support, we identified areas of improvement through feedback from current and past incubatees as well as the larger community, and revamped our incubation program to produce better outcomes.
