inDrive, the globally acclaimed mobility and urban services platform, is set to sponsor and actively participate in the highly anticipated Lagos Startup Week 2024. Now in its 8th edition, the annual event will take place from July 8th to July 13th at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Both the Aurora Tech Award and the inDrive ride-hailing team will be present to showcase their contributions towards addressing injustices in Africa and bridging the gender gap in the tech sector. This year’s event brings together entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders to discuss, learn, network, and showcase innovative ideas poised to shape the future of the startup ecosystem in Lagos and beyond.
As the headline sponsor of Lagos Startup Week 2024, inDrive will also participate in other industry gatherings, sharing its growth story and its impact on revolutionizing ride-hailing in Africa.
On Friday, July 12, 2024, Somachi Chris-Asoluka, Ifeoma Nwobu, and Eniola Edun will lead the “Women Who Launch” panel discussion. Empowered by the Aurora Tech Award, an inDrive initiative, this session will focus on Nigerian female innovators. The Aurora Tech Award is a global prize for women founders of tech startups, addressing the gender gap in the African tech ecosystem, which includes leadership representation, funding disparities, and pay gaps. Lagos Startup Week has been fostering a community for African female innovators for nine years, providing opportunities for growth, learning, and networking in the tech space.
On Thursday, July 11, 2024, Timothy Oladimeji, Senior Business Development Representative of inDrive Nigeria, will participate in a fireside chat. He will highlight inDrive’s significant milestones, its impact on the Nigerian transportation sector, and the company’s future strategies to enhance services and expand reach.
inDrive’s participation in last year’s Lagos Startup Week included launching its freight product feature, “inDrive.Freight,” demonstrating its continuous innovation and commitment to the tech community.
Lagos Startup Week is a pivotal platform for driving thought-provoking narratives and fostering connections within the tech ecosystem. With its people-first transportation services, inDrive has revolutionized traditional ride-hailing, becoming one of the two most downloaded mobility apps worldwide. inDrive operates in over 16 Nigerian cities, including Lagos, Benin City, Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Jos, Enugu, and Owerri.
By supporting Lagos Startup Week 2024, inDrive aims to provide mobility options for passengers and contribute to the socio-economic growth of Nigeria through an accessible and interconnected urban mobility system.
