Institute
Edfrica Institute for Innovation & Enterprise
Nigeria's entrepreneurship (ESO) and innovation (ISO) support institute, headquartered in Abeokuta with a regional network across all 15 ECOWAS and Alliance of Sahel States countries.
Why EIIE exists
Nigeria's entrepreneurship and innovation sector splits in two: institutions with grassroots reach but no technical depth, and consultancies with technical depth but no last-mile presence. EIIE was built to be both. We bring a community network of 5,000+ members and 20,000+ MSMEs into the room, backed by delivery standards drawn from World Bank/ECOWAS, GIZ, and GOPA-managed programmes.
