The Solution Innovation District has been officially inducted as a full member of the prestigious International Association of Science Parks and Areas of Innovation (IASP).

This momentous announcement was made during the forty-first World Conference held recently in Nairobi, themed “Demographics, Entrepreneurship, and Technology: Defining the Frontiers of Future Economies.”

 The conference brought together a diverse global audience, including innovation enablers, thought leaders, science experts, and policymakers, all sharing insights on the evolving landscape of innovation and technology.

This significant achievement not only highlights the Solution Innovation District’s commitment to fostering innovation but also aligns perfectly with the vision of Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo.

Governor Soludo aims to transform Anambra into a digital hub, often referred to as the “African Silicon Valley.”

Joining the International Association of Science Parks marks a crucial milestone in the governor’s efforts to establish Anambra as a centre for innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship.

The membership positions the district as a key player in the global innovation landscape, facilitating collaboration and knowledge exchange with other science parks and innovation areas around the world.
