ABOUT
We are the first students’ venture prize in Nigeria, serving as a tested model for entrepreneurship education and empowerment in Africa. We bring all universities in Nigeria together. The Nigerian Student Venture Prize (NSVP) works to promote and showcase unique business ideas and entrepreneurship among university students, as well as to help eliminate the gap between the academic world and the business community.
The NSVP is designed to empower the most advanced entrepreneurial ventures by Nigerian undergraduate students. It supports individual or group of students who have identified a problem, discovered significant opportunities to profer solutions and whose ventures have the potential to create “impact at scale”.
The prize is agnostic with respect to what sectors or industries ventures are working in, or even whether they are commercial, social, or have blended approaches. The essential thing is that a student/group of students (max team no. 4) has identified an opportunity or challenge and is thinking big about how to solve it.
Guiding startups on their way towards creating a better tomorrow
