Seven Nigerian entrepreneurs who represented the country at the SEE Pakistan 2026 World Startup Championship in Lahore have been received by the National Board for Technology Incubation (NBTI).
The entrepreneurs were received by the NBTI Director-General/Chief Executive Officer, Dr Kazeem Kolawole Raji, following their return from the international startup competition.
The NBTI said their performance highlighted the “depth of talent, creativity, enterprise and technological ingenuity” within Nigeria’s emerging innovation ecosystem.
The SEE Pakistan 2026 championship brought together startups, entrepreneurs, investors, mentors and innovation stakeholders on an international platform designed to promote entrepreneurship, innovation, visibility and global collaboration.
The seven entrepreneurs were subsequently presented to the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Dr Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh, SAN, where their international achievement was formally showcased.
Speaking at the reception, Raji congratulated the entrepreneurs for their “resilience, professionalism, determination and exceptional representation of Nigeria on the international stage.”
He described their achievement as “a powerful reflection of the enormous creative and entrepreneurial capacity of Nigerian youths and innovators.”
According to him, the success of the entrepreneurs was not merely an individual accomplishment but “a demonstration of what can be achieved when innovation, incubation, mentorship, institutional support and entrepreneurial determination are brought together.”
The NBTI said the achievement was consistent with the Federal Government’s efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s technology, innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.
The board noted that building a globally competitive, innovation-driven economy required more than policies, stressing the need for “deliberate investment in people, institutions, technology, entrepreneurship, research, product development, incubation, commercialisation and access to international markets.”
The NBTI said it would continue to strengthen its Technology Incubation Centres and support mechanisms for entrepreneurs across the country.
