Synergie Training have fought off tough competition from all over the UK to win NEC3 Contract Training in Nigeria.

Synergie Training’s latest coup involved delivering high level NEC3 Contract training to the Abuja Technology Village in Abuja, Nigeria.

The Abuja Technology Village Free Zone Company, ATV, is a Master Developer of a Science and Technology Park (STP) aimed at providing world-class infrastructure and amenities for technology businesses of all sizes from selected focus areas. The Park will provide a one-stop/compact response to the challenges of doing business cutting across such areas as access to reliable infrastructure and connectivity, high-quality real estate guided by the tenets of Green development, availability of reliable information, provision of the services of all relevant Government agencies in the same location, etc. STPs have played tremendous roles globally in catalyzing socio-economic developments in countries that have implemented them successfully. Direct benefits include local and foreign direct investments; skills, technology and knowledge transfer; diversification of revenue sources; and, creation of job opportunities.

Some similar projects include Dubai Internet City & Dubai Techno Park, Multimedia Super Corridor in Malaysia, Kista Science City in Sweden, Silicon Valley in the USA, Daedeok Innopolis in South Korea, Bangalore International Tech. Park, SHIP in Shenzhen China and Smart Village Cairo in Egypt.

The Company is responsible for planning, operating and administering the STP with the mission to facilitate the promotion of technology business incubation, clustering of technology firms around four (4) focus areas (Information & Communications Technology (ICT), Biotechnology, Minerals Technology and Energy Technology),harnessing the resource potential of the adjacent African University of Science and Technology (AUST) and other tertiary institutions and, providing a first class lifestyle environment that will attract participation from leading global brands and local technology entrepreneurs.

Adefolake Ogunsanwo the HR Manager at the Abuja Technology Village thanked Synergie Training for all their help throughout the training arrangements as they helped organise the Visa, training materials and the purchase of the contracts in a very tight time frame. Adefolake said “The feedback from the delegates was very positive and despite it being a challenging course they all enjoyed the training and the trainer weaved his magic just as we expected”. She finished by saying “that if there is ever a requirement for any further training like this, Synergie would be our first choice!”
