@gdglagos 3. Partnerships are the new growth engine. No organisation scales alone. Ecosystems open doors to distribution, credibility, and speed that would take years to build independently. A big thank you to the speaker team at @gdglagos for the invitation. #DevFestLagos

[Mercy Akamo @MercyAkamo]

I loved speaking at DevFest Lagos, hosted by Google Developer Group Lagos @gdglagos, where I joined a panel on “The Business of Innovation: Turning Big Ideas into Scalable Solutions. Here are 3 key insights I shared during the session in the short thread below. #DevFestLagos

[Mercy Akamo @MercyAkamo]

@gdglagos 2. Customer feedback is co-creation. Your customers are not just users. They are early collaborators. The faster you listen, iterate, and simplify, the faster you scale. #DevFestLagos @gdglagos

[Mercy Akamo @MercyAkamo]

DevFest Lagos 2025 was amazing! Lots of insights were shared, and lots more were gained from the speakers and attendees.
The @gdglagos team pulled out all the stops for this 5-day gathering that brought together thousands of developers, founders, and technology industry builders
