Evidence snapshot for Lagos
Lagos is home to Africa's pioneering open-innovation hub CcHub, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Yaba, which has cumulatively deployed $17.1 million to 3,312 African ventures across 49 countries and catalysed $170 million in outside investment. She Code Africa, a nonprofit focused on training women and girls in digital skills, was also founded in Lagos in 2016 and has grown into a pan-African network operating in over 20 countries. The evidence demonstrates Lagos's role as a foundational hub for African tech innovation and digital inclusion initiatives, though the practices do not quantify Lagos-specific economic or employment outcomes.
