The iHatch Hub Upskilling Programme is a nationwide capacity-building initiative of the ONDI under NITDA, designed to strengthen Nigeria’s innovation ecosystem by equipping high-potential innovation hubs with advanced operational, technical, and investment-readiness capabilities.
Now in its fifth cohort, iHatch adopts a proven train the-trainer model, where selected innovation hubs are intensively upskilled and supported to deliver structured incubation programmes to early-stage startups within their respective states. Through this approach, the programme decentralised innovation support, ensuring founders across Nigeria can access quality ecosystem infrastructure regardless of location.
