Who We Are

The National Technology Innovation Center (NTIC) stands at the intersection of innovation, policy, and national development. Established through a strategic partnership between the Federal Government of Nigeria and key institutional stakeholders, NTIC was created to advance homegrown technology solutions that solve real challenges across sectors.

Our mission is to drive inclusive digital transformation by supporting innovation, strengthening tech entrepreneurship, and accelerating the deployment of smart systems in governance, education, health, agriculture, and infrastructure.

Imagine a Nigeria where indigenous technologies power our cities, automate our public services, and create jobs for millions. That’s the future NTIC is building, where innovation isn’t just encouraged but embedded into how we grow as a nation.

What Our Innovators Say About NTIC

“Before NTIC, I had a prototype and a dream. Through the center’s Digital Startup Incubation Program, I received technical mentorship, user validation support, and ₦5 million in equity-free funding. Today, my product—MedPrompt, an AI-powered drug adherence solution—is now deployed across three teaching hospitals in Nigeria.”

“NTIC believed in us when we were still in the ideation phase. With access to the Tech Builders Fellowship, I learned how to structure a scalable platform. Our solution, eCourtroom, is now automating judicial processes in two states.”

“I joined NTIC’s SmartCity Innovation Track just after graduating from university. Their hands-on training, equipment access, and exposure at the National Tech Expo helped us evolve from a school project to a funded company. ParkWise, our traffic analytics tool, is now in use by two LGAs in Lagos.”

“We were a small agritech outfit trying to digitize local supply chains. Thanks to NTIC’s regional innovation fund and business structuring workshops, we’ve launched CropChain, a blockchain-powered produce traceability platform used by cooperatives in Oyo and Nasarawa.”
