Lagos, Nigeria – May 5, 2025 – The Women’s Technology Empowerment Centre (W.TEC), in collaboration with ACT Foundation, will tomorrow host a powerful networking and showcase event in Ikeja – Lagos, under its flagship initiative, SHE CAN with ICT.
SHE CAN with ICT is a capacity-building project designed to equip women entrepreneurs in the beauty, fashion, and lifestyle industries with vital digital and business skills to scale their ventures, increase visibility, and boost income. Since its launch, the programme has empowered over 15,000 women across Nigeria with hands-on training in digital marketing, e-commerce, content creation, and business development.
The graduation ceremony for the 2024–2025 cycle of the SHE CAN with ICT programme marks the successful conclusion of an impactful year dedicated to empowering women in the fashion and beauty industries with essential digital skills. Designed to enhance participants’ online presence, productivity, and business growth, the programme attracted over 5,000 women from across Africa, who engaged in a comprehensive virtual training delivered through 5 – cohorts.
As part of the graduation, five outstanding participants will be awarded seed grants in recognition of their dedication, innovation, and business potential. These grants aim to further support and scale their entrepreneurial ventures.
Tomorrow’s event will spotlight the remarkable progress of these women, featuring exhibitions, keynote speeches, networking opportunities, and a special fashion display themed “Tech Meets Glamour” — showcasing how creativity and technology fuse to drive women-led enterprises.
