World Product Day 2025
Innovate Africa, the product-led fund backing bold early-stage innovators, today announced it will host the Lagos edition of World Product Day 2025 on Wednesday, 21st May 2025, at The Strong Tower Hall in Lagos. The one-day conference marks the culmination of a continent-wide transformative sprint, moving from grassroots problem identification to prototype-ready solutions that address Africa’s most complex and urgent challenges. World Product is a global initiative by Mind the Product, celebrated in over 100 cities worldwide. Curated by Innovate Africa, the Lagos gathering offers a high-impact, single-day conference that connects product builders, engineers, founders, and enterprise teams through thought leadership discussions, practical learning, and talent engagement. Themed “Bold Builders Wanted,” the initiative began in March with an open Ideathon, which crowdsourced real-world challenges from across the continent. Innovate Africa distilled the hundreds of entries into 12 “wicked problems” spanning healthcare, climate resilience, digital infrastructure, consumer protection, and public services. In April, the fund assembled multidisciplinary teams and product owners, who through structured sprints pushed each idea to prototype stage.
