Director, Central and West Africa, Dell Technologies, Nicholas Travers, has expressed delight over the expected launch of the Tech Experience Centre, an ambitious technology project that will bridge the gap to cutting-edge technologies for millions of Nigerians.
He said the project will save Nigeria capital flight while also boosting technology adoption in Nigeria.
He commended TD Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa’s foremost tech, lifestyle and solutions distributor for the landmark initiative.
Travers added that Dell Technologies, a partner on the project and one of the global tech giants expected to occupy the centre, is proud to be associated with it.
‘‘This is a fantastic initiative by TD Africa, perhaps the first of its kind in the region and we are proud to be part of it. With expected visitors spanning CEOs, MDs and Heads of Technology from different sectors of the Nigerian economy, we believe the Tech Experience Centre will help reduce the decision making cycle and save huge costs and time of traveling to locations outside our continent to visit and experience these technologies at work.’’
He believes the centre will go a long way in helping Dell Technologies showcase its suite of cutting-edge technologies.
‘‘The launch of the Experience Centre will support the growth of technology in Nigeria and the West African region. Also, it provides a fantastic platform for Dell Technologies to showcase the very many technologies we offer,’’ he enthused.
The centre is expected to serve corporate, small and medium business and potential customers from the public sector.
In 2016, Dell and EMC joined forces in the largest technology merger in history to become Dell Technologies. An enterprise and IT Transformation market leader, Dell Technologies unites technology leaders – Dell, EMC, Secureworks, Virtustream and VMware – in one company with the power to drive digital transformation, fuelled by the desire to drive human progress through technology.
The Tech Experience Centre is set for launch on Thursday, October 1st 2020, Nigeria’s 60thindependence anniversary. It will be officially commissioned by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Ali Pantami.
