ALX WIns Outstanding Leader in Technology Accelerator Award at WEETS 2024

ALX, Africa’s tech learning accelerator, once again proved that it is a trailblazer in tech learning and innovation by winning the Outstanding Leader in Technology Accelerator Award at the Women Entrepreneurs & Executives in Tech Summit (WEETS) 2024.

ALX Partnership Lead, Adebimpe Odunlana, received the award during the event held at the Lagos Chambers of Commerce & Industry (LCCI).

The WEETS 2024 summit kickstarted with an empowering boot camp where Helen Eboagwu, Manager of Operations at ALX, delivered an insightful speech on “Balancing Work & Life.”

She emphasised the increasing challenges that modern women face in managing career ambitions alongside personal responsibilities. She highlighted the need for intentional time management, mental wellness, and setting realistic boundaries in the workplace to prevent burnout.

“It is very key, that we prioritise self-care without compromising our professional growth,” she further stated.

The summit drew women from top industries, fostering an environment of knowledge sharing and collaboration. Odunlana also represented ALX during a panel discussion titled AI Leadership: Navigating the Future of Women in Business, where she shared her insights and highlighted the evolving role of women in AI and the pivotal importance of strategic leadership in navigating the future of tech-driven business.

In her compelling remarks, she said, “There is an intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and women’s leadership, which focuses on how women can harness the power of AI to redefine the business landscapes.

Indeed, AI plays a pivotal role in reshaping industries, and leaders in today’s tech space must be both strategic thinkers and innovation-driven to fully unlock AI’s potential.”

Ugochi Emmanuel, the organiser of the WEETS Summit thanked ALX for their continued support and revolutionary contributions to the tech ecosystem.
