Ventures Platform announces the commissioning of its Ventures Park Abuja Campus, the first full service tech innovation hub providing incubatory, residential, and co-working spaces for start-ups solving the most challenging problems on the African continent.

Designed by renowned architect Wole Oyebanji of CoBuildit.com, Ventures Park is aesthetically sound, a fusion of the finest elements of Nigerian art, sustainable design and an enabling environment to stimulate creativity.

Ventures Park also features several art installations by internationally renowned visual artist Victor Ehikhamenor.

The campus is carefully built to accommodate professionals, start-ups, techpreneurs, tech enthusiasts, freelancers, and small businesses who all share common goals.

Fully serviced, Ventures Park features the latest technology and facilities including communal work spaces, private meeting rooms, a gym, and short-term residences for enterprises from out of town.
