Developing circular products is fraught with challenges, especially when material sourcing is inconsistent and product standards are still being established. This session aims to foster collaboration among Nigerian innovators by providing a platform for sharing best practices, discussing common challenges, and exploring innovative approaches to prototyping.
In the first webinar, tagged "Best Practices for Creating Effective Circular Prototypes," Dozie Igwello, Founder of Quadloop Technologies, and Dr. Mer Gaya Best, CEO of Meyana Bioenergy Limited, led the conversation.

Hangouts
The Value of Linking Research Institutions to Local Industry
18th Nov. 2024 | 1:00PM | PHYSICAL
Research is the backbone of any business. Through robust research an innovator or entrepreneur is able to get trusted data on the existing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of a business. Research guides the entrepreneur in determining the right procedures to take in establishing and running a business. It ensures that the business provides functional and bankable solutions tailored to meet practical needs.
In this hangout, the focus was to expose why it is essential for circular businesses to link research institutions while creating business innovations and solutions. The chat was led by Terseer Nyulaku, Executive Secretary, Edo State Board for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (BTVET) National Team Leader, Adam Smith International.
