The idea behind Scaleup Lagos was born out of our genuine desire at Kreateng to help build the tech and business ecosystems in Lagos through solution oriented discussions and build a strong workforce for organizations. Scaleup Lagos was a strategic meeting point for businesses, investors and career builders. The goal of the event was pretty much in the name; to create a networking platform for these stakeholders to collaborate for growth in their careers and businesses.

A special mention goes out to our esteemed sponsors; Awacash, Touch and Pay, and The Journey Guide, and also to our service & product sponsor; AO&FA and Hagnos water,  the president of ICOBA/Co-Organizer; Femi Olubanwo, the CEO of Kreateng/Co-Organizer; Adedayo Okunfolami and the chairman of the event; Mr Tunji Akinwunmi.
