Digiconverge, a one-stop digital convergence platform that provides fit-for-purpose services in e-broadcasting and global content syndication, has launched operations in Africa, starting with Nigeria.

The platform, which already enjoys the blessings of the Federal Government of Nigeria, has signed an exclusive content distribution partnership for Africa with the Viva Entertainment Group Inc.

The Vice President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has described the newly launched Digiconverge as an example of Africa being a producer and not just a consumer of technology products.

Osinbajo, who gave a keynote address during the virtual launch of Digiconverge on August 18, 2020 through the Special Assistant on Innovation, Office of the President, Ife Adebayo, spoke on the theme: “Unlocking the benefits of the 4th Industrial revolution.”

Adebayo expressed confidence that Nigeria, and by extension Africa, can be put on the right path to harnessing the opportunities the fourth Industrial Revolution presents.

He said: “We need to ensure that as Government we support initiatives like DigiConverge, and create opportunities, develop policies to protect intellectual property, and ensure adequate funding sources for research and innovation for continuous product improvement.

“The dedication of groups like the team at Digiconverge reinforces my belief.

“I implore us all, Government, Private Sector, and Academia, to work together to maximize these opportunities.”

Speaking at the launch, founder and CEO of DigiConverge, Celestine Achi, said the firm is an indigenous all-in-one digital convergence platform that provides fit-for-all purpose services in e-broadcasting, global content syndication, media intelligence and virtual business support.

According to Achi, DigiGbedu (https://distribution.digigbedu.com/) enables owners of creative work to earn 100 per cent of their royalties as they have unfettered access to the backend of the portal which enables them monitor all transactions real time.

“Top on the pack of the product is FlikonTV, an e-broadcast platform designed to enable subscribers launch their own TV channel, talk show, video news on international platforms such as AppleTV, RokuTV, AmazonTV, VivaLiveTV among other channels,” Co-Founder/ED Partnerships of DigiCoverge, Nkechi Ali-Balogun, added.

Ali-Balogun further listed some of the premium products of DigiConverge to include Flikon TV, an e-broadcast platform designed to enable subscribers launch their own TV channel, talk show, video news on international platforms such Apple TV, RokuTV, Amazon TV, VivaLive TV, among other channels.
