Innovation Support Network (ISN) Hubs, Nigeria’s widest network of innovation Hubs has entered a partnership with the Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, and the Creative Economy (FMACCE) and the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) to implement the Creative Leap Acceleration Program (CLAP).
This groundbreaking initiative aims to harness Nigeria’s creative talent and transform the sector into a global powerhouse.
At the core of CLAP will be ISN’s robust network of about 200 Hubs strategically located throughout the six geopolitical zones of the country.
These hubs will act as catalysts for developing and accelerating the growth of creative businesses. By leveraging ISN’s extensive reach and expertise, CLAP will provide unique support, resources, and opportunities to artists, creatives, and innovators nationwide.
The Creative Leap Accelerator Program (CLAP) is poised to become a catalyst for economic growth and job creation in Nigeria.
By investing in the creative sector, the government is demonstrating its commitment to building a diversified and sustainable economy.
This strategic partnership with ISN will leverage the tools and infrastructure that innovation Hubs provide, to empower creatives to develop innovative products and services that can compete on a global scale, and access a wide range of resources, including mentorship, training, and market access.
Oge Nnaife, Executive Director of Innovation Support Network, expressed her excitement about the partnership, “At ISN Hubs, we are committed to unlocking the full potential of the Nigerian Innovation Ecosystem.
This partnership with the ministry will open up an immense repository of opportunities for creatives across the country, granting them access to invaluable resources, and unparalleled industry knowledge.”
