About #StartupSouth

2016 Theme

Now in its second year, the goal of #StartupSouth is to awaken the consciousness of younger generations of Nigeria’s Entrepreneurs (emphasis on those operating within The South-south/South-East corridors) to opportunities within and trends in the global Entrepreneurial community. This year's theme is Tech As Business Enabler.

We expect over 500 this year from across Port Harcourt, Warri, Uyo, Calabar, Yenagoa, Owerri, Enugu, Onitsha, Awka, Benin, Aba and Lagos. There are also interests from as far as The Unites States, United Kingdom, Germany and France. Where will you be on November 10, 2016?
