We are proud to announce that Softicu Hub has been selected to participate in the iHatch Program Cohort 5! 🎉
Out of a highly competitive pool of innovation hubs across Nigeria, Softicu Hub is honored to be among the 37 innovation hubs selected across all 36 states and the FCT. This milestone reflects our continued commitment to building a thriving innovation ecosystem in Abia State and beyond.
The iHatch programme is designed to strengthen innovation hubs by equipping hub managers with advanced capabilities in startup incubation, ecosystem building, and programme management. The programme begins with intensive training for hub leaders, followed by the incubation and support of startups within our region.
This initiative is implemented in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy (FMCIDE), National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Office for Nigerian Digital Innovation (ONDI), and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
As a hub, we are not just participants—we are part of a national infrastructure designed to nurture startups, empower entrepreneurs, and drive digital transformation.
Over the years, Softicu has trained thousands of youths, supported startups, and delivered impactful digital skills and innovation programmes. This opportunity further strengthens our capacity to scale that impact and support more founders in building sustainable, high-growth ventures.
We remain committed to empowering talents, supporting startups, and driving innovation that creates real impact in Abia State and across Nigeria.
