Search giant, Google is working to ensure that big technology companies emerge from Nigeria, cum emerging markets. This drive, formed the basis of its yearly Global Accelerator and Launchpad Programme, held in San Francisco, USA. In its fifth year, Google Launchpad Accelerator Programme focused on start-ups that already have a product, with a good market fit, and are ready to scale. To enable startups from the region, Google has set up an accelerator launchpad space in Nigeria, which would start training classes in March. Speaking at the opening session, Google Launchpad Lead, Roy Glasberg, said the programme was tailored to each start-up specifically.
