The second edition of the Nigerian Telecommunications Indigenous Content Expo (NTICE 2023) is set to hold in Lagos from August 22-24, 2023.
The event, organized by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), aims to showcase the achievements in promoting indigenous content in the telecommunications sector.
The theme of the expo is “Harnessing Indigenous Content for Economic Growth: Networking to Boost Investment.”
The NCC’s Nigeria Office for Developing the Indigenous Telecom Sector (NODITS) is coordinating the event, which will feature participants from various sectors, including telecom operators, manufacturers, regulators, government agencies, policymakers, innovators, industry leaders, startups, academia, and global experts.
The expo is in line with the provisions of the Nigerian Communications Act 2003 and will promote the four focus areas of the National Policy on the Promotion and Implementation of Indigenous Contents in the Telecommunications Sector (NPPIC), which are manufacturing, service, people, and research and development.
The event serves as a platform for stakeholders to share diverse thoughts and advance the utilization of indigenous content in Nigeria’s telecommunications industry.
Participation at the event requires mandatory formal registration ahead of the day of the event and the Commission has created the link: www.ntice.ncc.gov.ng for this purpose, and intending participants are advised to register before August 22, 2023.
In a media parley with NCC’s in-house media recently, the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Commission, Prof. Umar Danbatta, stated that NTICE is Nigeria’s largest annual indigenous telecoms, tech and startups, manufacturing and innovative event that brings to stakeholders the powerful connections and valuable new relationships that highlights the achievements and vast potentials of a tech-driven digital economy.
This year’s Expo is set to project the achievements of indigenous content by the government for the sector and afford participants the platform to showcase their products and services, innovative solutions and new technologies.
