General Electric (GE) will re-launch its 
latest skills training program, Lagos Garage Innovation  in Lagos, Nigeria.
Dubbed “GE Lagos Garage”, this six-week

the impact of Nigeria’s most promising entrepreneurs.
Working with  a variety of world-class instructors, investors, technical experts, and partners,
the Lagos Garage Innovation participants will learn how to create products using 3D printers
and build a culture of collaboration and innovation to bring their wildest ideas to life.
GE created the Garages program in 2012 to reinvigorate America’s interest in
invention, innovation, and manufacturing.
In 2014, Garages went global with three weeks of workshops at GE’s regional headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria,
using the latest in advanced manufacturing technologies.
3D printers, CNC mills, and laser cutters
filled the first-ever fabrication lab in West Africa, driving innovation in the region.
GE is expanding on the success of the 3 weeks of workshops by evolving
the fabrication lab into a six-week skills training program.
The Lagos Garage Innovation participants will be trained on the latest manufacturing technologies
to enable innovation through rapid prototyping.
They will learn and apply the core principles of design thinking, product development, finance, marketing, sales,
and customer acquisition in real-time to their ventures.
The GE Lagos Garage Innovation will also provide access to a robust mentorship network,
supporting entrepreneurialism with an aim to drive growth across all sectors of industry.
