Invitation to Participate at the Africa Innovation Convention and Innovation Competition

The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Dschang invites the students of his institution to participate at the Africa Innovation Convention (AIC) and Innovation Competition (iNOVA).  This event is a gathering of hundreds of “thoughtful, iconoclastic doers” from around the world who share a common interest in practical solutions for sustainable development through global innovation. They will focus exclusively on one of the most important development challenges of our time: How do we create innovation ecosystems in Africa?

Also, this event aims at encouraging innovation, creativity and thinking outside the box amongst the students. It hopes to spark interest in science and technology by challenging them to come up with a novel idea or invention that either solves a problem, improves on an existing product or solution, or makes life easier.

The contest aims to help students unlock their creative potential by teaching them to become, among other things, more open to experimentation, more comfortable with ambiguity and less afraid of failure.

Every idea changes the world, some more successfully than others. The ideas with the most power are the ones shared among many people. The ideas on which we dwell, discuss, meditate, visualize in great detail, immerse ourselves in these, are the ideas that spread. These are the ideas that change the world on a grand scale. Inspiring, provocative and challenging, this annual event is about inviting students to broaden their creativity.

Our vision is ambitious, which is nothing less than to reshape the entire way we think about the economic development and growth in Africa. The event will take place in the heart of Nigeria (Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library) on December 8 – 10. A brief about the Convention and the Competition is attached within; you can also read more at www.africainnovationconvenion.com and register for the event at https://www.africainnovationconvention.com/register-2/

The Africa Innovation Convention will be the first major Innovation Competition and event in Africa produced in collaboration with the Ogun State Government, Nigeria.
