"CcHUB is Nigeria’s first open living lab and pre-incubation space designed to be a multi-functional, multi-purpose space where work to catalyze creative social tech ventures take place," the website explains. "The HUB is a place for technologists, social entrepreneurs, government, tech companies, impact investors and hackers in and around Lagos to co-create new solutions to the many social problems in Nigeria." The Co-Creation Hub was founded by Bosun Tijani and Femi Longe in 2011 who wanted to create opportunities for social entrepreneurs to raise funding for their projects, and also to invest in the development of new social innovations and ideas. To help fund the venture, CcHUB offers consulting services, market research and product testing.
