About the 2016 Etisalat Prize for Innovation
The Etisalat Prize for innovation rewards product, services or ideas that promote mobile broadband usage in Nigeria. Broadband is primarily mobile across Nigeria and critical to our economic development. A rise of ten mobile phones per 100 people boosts GDP growth by 0.6%, resulting in improved market information flow and assisting SME’s and Entrepreneurs to grow business and improve links.
Now in its fifth year, the Prize is awarded in two categories; the most innovative product or service launched in the last 12 months and the most innovative idea. Entries will need to show demonstrable impact (or potential impact for an idea) on broadband usage, impressive uptake from customers and have made a visible commercial or social impact on the community for the launched product/service.
