For Companies

Your next solution is already in a classroom.

Post a real business problem and get proposals from students and graduates across Nigeria.

Why companies choose ESICON Innovation

  • Fresh perspectives

    People who haven't learned why something can't be done tend to try it anyway. Put your problem in front of them.

  • Test ideas for less

    Set the budget in naira and the scope yourself, and test an idea before committing a full team to it.

  • Pay per approved milestone

    Agree milestones up front and release payment only when each one is delivered to your standard.

  • A talent pipeline

    See how people actually work over a whole project before you make a hiring decision.

  • Mentor your future hires

    Take on students in your field from 100 level and shape the skills you'll need in a few years.

  • SIWES placements made simpler

    Host industrial training students who already know your company. ESICON Innovation doesn't replace your ITF obligations or your own advisers.

  • Verified people

    Students confirm their school email or ID, and every profile shows ratings from past work.

  • Researchers on call

    Bring academic expertise into hard problems without a long consulting contract.

  • Talent from every state

    Reach students, corps members and graduates across Nigeria, on site or remote.

  • Your brand in front of young Nigerians

    Advertise on ESICON and be seen as a company that invests in the next workforce.
