Third Edition of Learn Business With Nola

Nola Business Incubator

Overview

Learn Business with Nola (LBN) is an annual business conference specially organized to tackle the problems of startup entrepreneurs in their first few years in business in Nigeria. The event affords participants the opportunity to learn, network, and access mentorship and funding opportunities and held its maiden edition in 2019.

In 2021, ThePush created an all-encompassing system around the Learn Business With Nola event which resulted in the Nola Business Incubator. Nola Business Incubator is an initiative by Adetola Nola, an award-winning entrepreneur, CEO and co-founder of various companies. The initiative was created to tackle the menace of unemployment in Nigeria whilst helping upcoming entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses. In the same year, we planned and executed the second edition of Learn Business With Nola. On the premise of its success, our client reached out to us to organize the third edition of Learn Business With Nola.
