Digital maturity of the territory
Connectivity
Digital ecosystem
Lagos is a mature and active ecosystem with dynamic incubators, venture capital companies, digital startups, and private services via digital platforms. Lagos is home to several high-growth digital companies that provide hopeful examples of the country’s digital potential. The startup ecosystem is strong and well-supported with incubators and hubs including CCHub Nigeria and Univel City.
Lagos State Authority has strong collaboration and partnerships with major digital suppliers, including PSN Nigeria Ltd, but a consistent approach to collaborating with startups is more challenging as required platforms are not in place. To help with this, local organisations and services to support brokering collaboration are starting to emerge, they include Utopia Lagos.
Staffbus
Staffbus is a Nigerian startup that formalises bus routes by partnering with private buses or fleets, with routes accessed by an online app. Staffbus is seen as a potential partner for LASG because they have a good knowledge of the local transport sector and their users.
