Improve the capacity of the Nigerian economy to implement digital innovations
for growth and her digital innovation ecosystem.

The Digital Transformation Center Nigeria (DTC Nigeria) is co-funded by the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft Fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) Gmbh. The project focuses primarily on digitalisation, innovation and entrepreneurship. It aims to improve the capacity of the Nigerian economy to utilise digital innovations for growth and the innovation ecosystem.

GIZ/DTC Nigeria follows a holistic ecosystem and gender-transformative approach to digitalising the economy. It works with all stakeholders in the digital ecosystem to promote the supply of and demand for digital innovation.

Innovation support organisations, research & academic institutions, public and private service providers and consultants are empowered to support MSMEs with their digitalisation efforts. At the same time, the project highlights existing potential, for example in a pilot project aimed at using innovation vouchers to close the funding gap for companies.

The project supports the government in implementing its policies and strategies for digitalising the Nigerian economy. In doing so, it promotes the long-term provision of digitalisation services for MSMEs and contributes to the country’s economic growth.
