A look back at two events that highlighted the growing tech partnership between France and Nigeria 🇫🇷🤝🇳🇬 On October 15-16, 2024, the tech communities of France and Nigeria came together in Lagos for two key events, organized by the French Treasury with the support of Expertise France. These gatherings aimed to foster collaboration and explore the potential of technology for social impact. 🤖 The French Tech Bootcamp, organized by the French Treasury in Nigeria with support from Expertise France, focused on "Tech4Good," bringing together key players from both ecosystems to discuss how AI is transforming business models and addressing societal challenges. Experts such as Nicolas Colin, Co-founder of The Family, and Julie Lanckriet-Goerig, COO of EMERGING Valley, shared insights on supporting impact-driven startups in Africa. 👩🦱 The Empowering Women in Tech conference, organized by the French Tech Lagos, celebrated women’s growing role in tech in front of a packed amphitheater. Nigerian leaders like Oluwakemi M. Olajide of Alitheia Capital and Kristin Wilson, Founder of Spurt!, discussed gender diversity and leadership in the industry while addressing the barriers women face, such as limited access to funding. Some key figures on women's entrepreneurial activity in Africa and Nigeria👇 🔝 24% of African women are engaged in entrepreneurship, one of the highest rates in the world; 📈 41% of Nigerian businesses are run by women; 💰 However, 70% of women entrepreneurs in Nigeria report difficulties in accessing finance. A fine illustration of the growing links between France and Nigeria, paving the way for other fruitful collaborations between our digital ecosystems! #FranceNigeria #FrenchTech #NigeriaTech

At the Inspire Africa Conference Founder’s Track, our COO, Princess O. Edokpayi delivered a masterclass session on optimisimg teams for successful outcomes. She shared essential insights on workforce planning, highlighting the significance of aligning talent with strategic goals to ensure efficiency and success. A standout takeaway from her session was the “Gas, Brake, and Glue” analogy, which brilliantly illustrates the dynamics of team performance. Leadership acts as the ‘brake’, helping teams slow down, reassess, or pivot when necessary, while the ‘gas’ represents the energy and motivation that drives progress. Just as precision is crucial in brake systems, team roles must be clearly defined for optimal execution. The ‘glue’ represents the strong relationships and collaboration that hold teams together, ensuring stability and cohesion even under pressure. This analogy offered a fresh perspective on fostering teamwork and resilience within any organization. The masterclass was a timely reminder that optimizing team performance is not just about productivity but about fostering a culture of resilience, adaptability, and continuous growth. #InspireAfrica #FoundersTrack #TeamOptimization #WorkforcePlanning #EmployeeEngagement #LeadershipLessons #BusinessGrowth
