Olotu Square is dedicated to building success stories in technology and entrepreneurship. With its team and innovative programs, it supports young entrepreneurs in building their businesses.

Olotu Square, a technology innovation hub based in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, has been making strides in empowering young people with innovative technologies and fostering employability and entrepreneurship since its inception in 2016.

Founded by Bruce Lucas and currently led by President and CEO Aima Atigari, Olotu Square began as a simple software technology company. It has since implemented a series of programs and activities, particularly in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. These initiatives include STEM training, campus visits, industrial training, training events, intensive employability courses, an employment support program, skills outsourcing, entrepreneurship training, start-up incubation, and the establishment of an innovation laboratory.

The center also features a coworking space to encourage collaboration between entrepreneurs and provides invaluable business support, mentoring, and networking to help entrepreneurs throughout their start-up journey.

Olotu Square is one of the partners of the Africa Netpreneur Prize Initiative (ANPI) for West Africa, a competition that seeks to discover African entrepreneurs whose stories inspire the continent. The 10 finalists have the opportunity to present their pitch to judges for a chance to win a $1 million prize.

In addition to partnering with angel investors and venture capitalists to fund start-ups, Olotu Square has collaborated with government partners to strengthen their impact. As a member of the AfriLabs network, the center is supported by Coworkers, Google, and VC4A (Venture Capital for Africa), among others.
