DESCRIPTION:Over the past few years\, Africa has witnessed a proliferation
  of technology hubs. Nonetheless\, while these fledgling technology ecosys
 tems are potent for fostering the region’s socio-economic development\, 
 only a few of the technology startups emerging from within these have had 
 the digital entrepreneurial capacity to scale into global enterprises. A c
 ritical missing gap is that the process of knowledge creation\, adoption\,
  and transmission within the digital entrepreneurial ecosystem remains unc
 lear\, with the need for more empirical studies in this developing context
 . Within this purview\, digital ecosystem scholars have argued the importa
 nce of more in-depth research in unravelling the processes of learning and
  knowledge transfer\, and the complementary interrelationships between cri
 tical stakeholders in the innovation ecosystem. This talk examines the kno
 wledge development process concerning the Lagos digital innovation ecosyst
 em. It explores\, within this context\, how indigenous and local knowledge
  can more effectively be integrated with foreign capabilities in the evolu
 tion of the region’s digital innovation ecosystem.\n\nRaymond Onuoha is 
 a Technology Policy Scholar and Consultant. His research\, consulting and 
 teaching focuses on the institutional and policy challenges in the evoluti
 on of the digital economy and technology innovation in developing countrie
 s\, with a specialization on Africa. He also works as a Research Consultan
 t with regional ICT policy and regulation think-tanks – Research ICT Afr
 ica (RIA)\, South Africa\, IT4Change (India)\, and The Portulans Institute
  (Washington D.C.\, USA) – conducting multidisciplinary research on digi
 tal governance\, policy and regulation and the facilitation of evidence-ba
 se to inform policymaking for improved access\, use and application of dig
 ital technologies for social and economic development in Africa. Raymond i
 s currently an AfOx Fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) and a Po
 st-Doctoral Fellow at the Wits Institute for Social and Economic Research 
 (WISER)\, South Africa – where he is assessing high-integrity and trust 
 identification schemes across Africa.\nSpeakers:\nDr Raymond Onuoha (Oxfor
