Where Innovation Happens

THE FORGE

The systematic forge designed to transform Nigeria's raw potential into global technological innovation. Where entrepreneurial visions are cast into unbreakable companies through structured processes, precision, and pressure.

The Process

HOW WE FORGE

The name "Ikenga" is derived from Igbo cosmology, representing a metaphysical operating system for excellence—the inner power that converts human potential into concrete accomplishment.

We don't operate as a traditional incubator or accelerator. We are a systematic force that applies intense heat, precise pressure, and expert craftsmanship to transform raw materials into tools of power. In our case, the raw material is your vision, and the tools are world-changing products.
