Innovation, close to where medicines move.

Hubs conduct assessments, validate data, and advise State Drug Management Agencies, pharma manufacturers and agricultural intermediaries. Pharmacists, supply chain experts and public health professionals join through the ARC_ESM Expert Pool and are assigned to the hub for their state of residence. The hubs are the Nigerian state network of a pan-African Expert Pool of 200+ certified specialists.

The hub network

V3P Innovation Summit Series

The V3P Innovation Summit Series is a four-stage competitive programme designed to identify, accelerate and scale the most impactful supply chain innovations. Innovators from the hubs pitch practical, ready-to-test solutions — from real-time inventory visibility and demand forecasting to AI-powered dashboards — and seasoned mentors help make them investment-ready and implementation-ready.

Innovation is change that unlocks new value.
