NG44 Consulting has opened NG44 Technology and Innovation Hub in Benin City. The new department will give structured support to African innovators and communities, and it will operate as an AI-native technology incubator for young builders.
A dedicated home for innovation support
The hub is established as an autonomous department of NG44 Consulting and runs under the company's Corporate Social Responsibility programme. Its mandate is to serve people and organisations outside the company, with its own team and programme calendar.
Five areas of work
- Building open digital infrastructure for the Africa of tomorrow
- Supporting innovation and innovators across Africa
- Advancing food safety and food self-sufficiency
- Building capacity for software developers and young entrepreneurs
- Creating open online courses that teach practical skills
AI-native from the start
The hub will help young builders use modern AI tools responsibly to create products for African conditions, from offline health tools to learning apps that work on low-cost phones.
First programmes
The hub's first priorities are an open food safety course for farmers and traders and a series of themed hackathons for young developers. Progress on every programme will be published on this site.
