“There is
need for more engagement and sharing of ideas to see how we can improve and
support entrepreneurs in an emerging economy like ours. Nigeria entrepreneurs
and angel investors need all the support they can get to grow their businesses
and generate employment in order to reduce poverty,” Onuegbu told ITRealms

the GES in 2009 in order to bring together entrepreneurs and investors from
across Africa and around the world annually to showcase innovative projects,
exchange new ideas, and help spur economic opportunity.
The 2015 GES
agenda, ITRealms gathered would focus
on generating new investments for entrepreneurs, with a particular focus on
women and youth. Hence, since 2009, GES has emerged as a global platform
connecting emerging entrepreneurs with leaders from business, international
organizations, and governments looking to support them. This is the first time
GES will take place in sub-Saharan Africa.
