The Technology Incubation Centre (TIC) is an initiative of the National Board for Technology Incubation (NBTI), a parastatal under the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology, which aims to develop necessary infrastructure for nurturing technology start-ups in Nigeria, promoting indigenous products through value-addition and technology-related activities.
The Director, Dr. Mrs. Gift Eze, expressed gratitude for the warm reception, and pledged to explore opportunities for collaboration and partnership with ACE-FUELS. Similarly, the Centre Leader of ACE-FUELS, Prof. Emeka Oguzie, reiterated his enthusiasm to partner with TIC in developing local competencies through work-based learning opportunities such as internships, as well as commercialisation research outputs.
