Creative Focus ready to promote promising entrepreneurs

Creative Focus, a social enterprise powered by Urban Dice Designs, is a purpose-built vehicle designed to showcase, promote and encourage young and start-up entrepreneurs on the power of Business Intelligence.

The platform is as much a spring board to budding entrepreneurs as it is a networking platform, in a relaxed atmosphere that engenders positive interactions and feedbacks between the exhibitors and the general public.

It will also expose young entrepreneurs to a wealth of business intelligence nuggets, business financing, bearing in mind the impact of this event on the growth of the Nigerian economy.

The target groups of people that this event seeks to spotlight are the future of the country, considering the tedious task of actualization of the vision of a ‘Better Nigeria’ rests on the shoulders of these people. The contribution at Urban Dice is to ensure that they have the right platform to be seen and heard.

Following the heels of the last exhibition in 2012 at Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos which was adjudged very successful by social media pundits, Urban Dice Designs is putting together a bigger event this year at the same venue. This year’s edition will mark the fourth edition in four consecutive years.

However, this year’s event will play host to 30 exhibitors from various sectors of the economy ranging from interior designers to Graphic Design/website and Blog Developers. In order to further enrich the event, Creative Focus is making available a grant plus business support services totalling N1, 000,000 for the best entrepreneur.

According to Omowunmi Imoukhuede, Creative Director, Urban Dice, “At Urban Dice, we believe that organizations and businesses exist because of the society. And for this reason, we have a continuing commitment to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of people in our local community and the society at large. We invite you to be part of an event that will celebrate and showcase the abundant talent in Nigeria and the enduring entrepreneurial spirit of the young Nigerian.”

The three days exhibition is billed to hold between 16 and 18 December, 2013 at the prestigious Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos. Bovi, other comedians and artistes have been billed to perform at the dinner event at the end of the exhibition.
