You’ve probably met a couple of them, usually congregated in cafes donning T-shirts, jeans, with laptops and phones. Yes I believe they are called Techpreneurs. With an ever increasing focus on technology, Tech Hubs have become a mainstay in today’s technological landscape.
I’m sure you must have heard the lingo “Tech Hub” a couple of times and you have a fair idea what it means, however I’d still like to explain what it means (If you don’t mind). Simply put, a Tech Hub is a community that promotes innovation for technology-based companies.
A Tech Hub can cover a large geographic area (Silicon Valley, Lagos), single buildings or just someone’s garage. The collection of like-minded individuals working in various sectors but focused on the use of technology creates a unique environment where individuals, ideas and the companies that support both can thrive.
Silicon Valley has been a resounding success, housing some of the greatest technology firms in the world. This success has led to countries replicating the model, this has given rise to hubs all over the world in Israel, Brazil, India, Lagos, Kenya, to name a few.
Tech hubs have helped drive innovation at a very fast pace because they employ a collective rather than an individualist approach to problem-solving. Employing the collective to solve a problem ensures that there are diverse approaches to solving the same problem, this makes the eventual result/solution more effective.
Business Incubators are built after the Tech Hub model, encouraging ideators to come up with new ideas, funding research, providing working space, providing access to other resources, all geared towards driving innovation.
