The launch of the companies, which will hold on Thursday, August 24, 2023, in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, will have, in attendance, international and local venture capitalists, investors, and product development subject matter experts who might be interested in investing or partnering the new portfolio companies.

Key highlights of the event will be the pitching by the founders on their business ideas, with the hope of eliciting the interest of investors.

The launch of the new portfolio companies is a major milestone of the board’s R&D strategy anchored on commercialisation of research and innovation. The exposure given to the founders is anchored on well- tested NCDMB product development framework, which includes product validation, prototype development, field trial, business development, and product deployment. The mission of both NCDMB and FI is to empower Nigerian startups and entrepreneurs to innovate and scale up their minimum viable products.
