Vascan Recap & Replay
Vascan at Lagos Startup Week 2025!
What an incredible and inspiring week! We were honored to be a part of Lagos Startup Week 2025, joining a powerful community of innovators focused on this year's theme: "Disrupting the Next Decade." For us at Vascan, this theme is at the very core of our mission. We believe the next decade's most profound disruption will come from building the digital infrastructure for Africa's vibrant creative economy. We had the opportunity to share this vision directly on the LSW stage, and we want to share the experience with you.
