Technology and digital innovation are rapidly transforming Nigeria’s economy by creating jobs, expanding access to services, and enabling business growth. Despite notable progress, challenges persist in building local capacity, transferring knowledge, and developing indigenous solutions, especially in the oil, gas, and energy sectors.

To bridge these gaps, the GEJ Hub for Technology, Energy, and Sustainable Solutions (TESS) is proposed in Abuja. This cutting-edge innovation center will bring together tech entrepreneurs, startups, researchers, and corporations to collaborate on impactful solutions across technology, energy, and sustainability. It will support innovation through strategic partnerships, mentorship, training programs, and funding opportunities.

The hub will focus on emerging fields like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and robotics, using a train-the-trainer approach to accelerate knowledge sharing. It will also incubate viable business ideas through startup cohorts, helping entrepreneurs scale impactful ventures.

Additionally, TESS will engage in advanced research and development to build tailored solutions for challenges such as oil and gas asset protection, digital security, and technical skills development. Ultimately, the hub aims to strengthen Nigeria’s innovation ecosystem and drive sustainable, tech-enabled progress across key sectors.
