I arrived in Lagos a few weeks ago as part of Points of Light’s partnership to support GE Garages Nigeria, an initiative through which GE is using the leading edge of its business—principles of open innovation and technologies in advanced manufacturing—to spur job growth and build entrepreneurship in Nigeria.
The launch platform in which I participated was a pop-up, three-week innovation and manufacturing center where aspiring makers, entrepreneurs, and students could go to develop new skills and learn about advanced manufacturing technologies.
