The Annual Hackjos challenge-driven conference and hackathon is here again.
The event organized by nhub brings together budding entrepreneurs, startups, students, developers and leading industry players within and outside the country to share their candid and powerful experiences that are centered on entrepreneurship, technology, innovation, best practices, brainstorming solutions (pitch), networking and also inspire participants to take action.
The theme for 2018 is ‘the new economy, human capital development & youth entrepreneurship.’
“With the increasing focus on human capital development and youth entrepreneurship as the new economy, both private and public sector actors must be aggressive in building capacity through partnerships. Incubators, early-stage venture capitalists and others of this ilk should be engaged to drive “the new economy”.
“On a policy level, government agencies and ministries overseeing youth development, entrepreneurship and employment must encourage the proliferation of human capital development and youth entrepreneurship training/culture — which develop not only practical, income-generating skills but also embed the entrepreneurial spirit and knowledge,” read a statement on the organizer’s website.”
Hackjos for this edition will be focusing and discussing methods and strategies for creating a continuous drive for human capital development and youth entrepreneurship as the new economy – ranging from addressing the internal culture; to instituting the right policy and partnership.
This year’s event is scheduled to take place from November 1 to November 3 at the heart of Jos.
