Lagos Innovates is the brainchild of LSETF and the Lagos State government. The initiative is a set of programs aimed at making it easier to build a successful technology-enabled business in Lagos. It comprises four programs with one of them providing the very best founders and startups high-quality workspaces and infrastructure. It is known as Workspace Vouchers.
In order to reduce the cost of running their very early stage technology-enabled businesses, founders/entrepreneurs often opt for coworking spaces instead of renting traditional offices. As affordable as coworking spaces are, however, some of these founders/entrepreneurs face challenges with payments. This is where the Lagos Innovates workspace vouchers help.
With the workspace vouchers, eligible founders/entrepreneurs can access high-quality coworking spaces and infrastructure at a 30% to 75% discount. Essentially, Lagos Innovates will help them foot the bill at a partner coworking space. This is where Leadspace, the single largest network of coworking spaces in Nigeria, comes in!
As a partner hub in the initiative, founders/entrepreneurs can redeem their workspace vouchers with us and access our world-class facilities. Considering we’re not the only partners in the initiative, why should they redeem their vouchers with us? Here are 8 reasons why.
- Utilizing our locations as their business address
- Working from either of our locations
- High-speed internet access (45mbps)
- Constant power
- Business class printing/scanning
- A community of entrepreneurs to foster collaboration and scale easily
- Business support and ancillary services (Accounting, Legal, Finance, Digital marketing, etc)
- Access to all Leadspace and Passion Incubator events.
