??It's been over six months since I arrived in Lagos, Nigeria, THE Tech #Hub of Africa! As the economic attaché of the French Embassy in Nigeria, I have the pleasure of working to create more #connections between France and Nigeria on Tech topics.
??France is not well enough recognized for its Tech and digital #excellence in Nigeria, and promoting a better understanding of our ecosystem is crucial for our country's #attractiveness. This was one of the goals of the mission last June, during which I had the opportunity to accompany a delegation of six Nigerian Tech talents to Paris. They were not only able to attend and contribute to #Vivatech, but also to multiply their meetings with various Tech stakeholders in the French ecosystem.
??Another priority, which logically follows, is to promote more exchanges, #collaboration, and offer new business opportunities between our two ecosystems. For this, French Tech Lagos proves to be a powerful community to achieve this goal. This could involve establishing sustainable partnerships with key #local players like Space NXT, or relying on the #international network of the French Tech Mission to facilitate connections beyond borders, such as the recent webinar held with French Tech Casablanca.
??The end-of-year program promises to be intense and #dynamic, and I am very eager to share with you the achievements we have envisioned to foster #cooperation between France and Nigeria around Tech!
