UAC Launches 1879 Tech Hub to Drive Africa’s Digital Revolution

UAC Nigeria, a leading conglomerate, has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative designed to propel Africa into the digital age. The 1879 Tech Hub, named after the company’s founding year, signifies UAC’s commitment to harnessing technology as a key driver of growth and long-term success across the continent.

Fola Aiyesimoju, Group Managing Director of UAC Nigeria, emphasized the initiative’s focus on two of the company’s core values: people and technology. “I’m thrilled and grateful for the team’s vision and execution,” Aiyesimoju said. “I eagerly anticipate leveraging the hub’s impact to deliver value to our customers and investors.“

The 1879 Tech Hub is equipped with a team of highly skilled professionals determined to integrate cutting-edge digital solutions into business operations. This will enhance customer experiences and foster a culture of innovation within African organizations.

David Dogeni, Chief Technology Officer and head of the 1879 Tech Hub, revealed the hub’s primary objective: empowering African businesses to become digital natives. In this context, digital natives are businesses where technology underpins every aspect of their operations.

“The 1879 Tech Hub is a dynamic fusion of creativity, innovation, and technology,” Dogeni explained. “It’s designed to propel business growth, ensure sustainability, and generate lasting value for all stakeholders.”

Dogeni further elaborated that the hub aspires to be a leader in establishing new benchmarks for business technology across Africa. “We’re passionate about assisting businesses in their transformation into digital natives,” he said.

“We’re energized by the prospect of unlocking transformative possibilities for the future. The future is bright, and we’re actively shaping it today, all while setting the standard for business technology in Africa.”

The launch of the 1879 Tech Hub underscores UAC’s dedication to fostering a thriving digital ecosystem in Africa. By providing businesses with the tools and expertise they need to thrive in the digital age, UAC is positioning itself as a key player in Africa’s digital revolution. The company, which also owns Nigeria’s popular fast-food chain, Mr. Biggs will be bracing up for renewed competition from old time partner, Tantalizers, as they plot a comeback, headed by a brand new leadership.
