The event aims to attract around 300 participants onsite, including stakeholders from Nigeria (80%), West African countries (mostly), and representatives of the EU Member States in Nigeria, including innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, doctoral students, private sector professionals, policymakers, and public procurers.

The event will focus on four areas, in line with the priority areas of the AU-EU Cooperation on Research and Innovation and the AU-EU Innovation Agenda:

Speakers will be invited to share testimonials and views on cutting-edge and innovative approaches in each of these areas, with applications to the Nigerian context. The two-day format will focus on AU-EU (West) Africa collaboration on Day 1 and Nigeria-EU collaboration on Day 2.

This event will also provide for the novel opportunity to engage R&I stakeholders from Nigeria and beyond in an “innovative” poetry workshop, in which participants could draft poetry pieces on Innovation and Nigeria-EU, Africa-EU cooperation and read and perform them to the audience at the end of Day 2.
