A pioneering indigenous 3D printing company, SL Solutions Technologies, has intensified efforts to equip Nigerian youths with future-ready skills that transcend traditional employment limitations.
Through hands-on training, workshops, and real-world project exposure, the company aims to nurture a new generation of creators, engineers, and tech entrepreneurs.
Speaking at the firm's launch event, its Chief Executive Officer, Seye Adesoye, noted that it is poised to tackle one of Nigeria’s most pressing challenges, youth unemployment, by shifting young people from job seekers to solution providers.
He said, "We are not just building a company; we are building a movement, one that empowers Nigerian youths to create, innovate, and compete globally."
While the immediate focus is Nigeria, according to him, the firm has its sights set on continental expansion. He stressed that it aims to replicate its empowerment-driven model across Africa, creating a network of innovation hubs that will unlock the creative and economic potential of millions of young Africans.
"The launch signals more than just the entry of another tech company; it marks the emergence of a new industrial frontier where innovation, creativity, and opportunity intersect. With 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, rapidly transforming global production systems, SL Solutions Technologies is positioning Nigeria at the forefront of this revolution in Africa.
"SL Solutions is set to serve multiple high-impact sectors, including rapid prototyping of components and spare parts in oil and gas, architectural modeling and visualization in real estate, custom medical solutions and prosthetics in healthcare, STEM development and practical learning in education, and cost-effective product development in manufacturing.
"By reducing production time and costs, the company is expected to bridge critical gaps in local manufacturing, minimizing reliance on imports while boosting homegrown innovation," he said.
