This initiative represents a major step in the government’s commitment to fostering entrepreneurship and strengthening Nigeria’s position as a hub for technology and innovation in Africa.
The Federal Government of Nigeria is set to launch the Investment in Digital and Creative Enterprises Programme (iDICE) Startup Bridge on 16 March 2026, a nationwide initiative aimed at nurturing the country’s tech ecosystem.
The programme will identify and support over 100 high-potential startups across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones. Selected startups will gain access to mentorship, investment readiness training, and essential tools to attract funding and scale their businesses.
iDICE Startup Bridge is designed to unlock the potential of Nigeria’s digital and creative enterprises, stimulate innovation, create jobs, and pave the way for the next generation of Nigerian unicorns.
