Executive Board Secretary of the Aid for Rural Education Access Initiative (AREAI),Co-Founder of Giving Garage and Chief Product Officer for S6startUP. This is just a sample of the powerful roles held by Chaste Christopher Inegbedion in his decade’s long career and in each capacity, Chaste has led the charge in shaping conversations and creating impact- globally. But you won’t hear him boast about it instead, the low key Edomite executive is more apt to compliment you on your achievements than toot his horn about his own giant strides. It’s that selflessness that has served as the backbone of his Organisation, advocating for Out for School Children during his reign as A World at School Global Youth Ambassador.
Lagos is the commercial nerve Centre of Nigeria. A mega-city home to over 20 million people and offices of international companies. The tech community in Lagos is very vibrant and is beginning to nucleate around the Sabo, Yaba axis of Lagos known as 'Silicon Lagoon'. Therefore, Lagos provides the perfect blend of developers, corporations and market."
Lagos is now on the global technology map and this has raised the stakes and encouraged the emergence of several local technology entrepreneurs seeking to provide products and services that address Africa's unique challenges. Our Group’s presence in Lagos and its unique promotions will undoubtedly support the emergence of these entrepreneurs as they design and develop their products to meet the needs of their chosen markets." – S6startUP
Chaste Inegbedion (and his Social business, S6startUP) is the result of our search about their proposed innovation for telling Untold Stories of Entrepreneurs. We found a video of Chaste where he was a guest on ChannelsTV – TechTrends.
S6StartUP is also a technological-based product that leverage social media as tool for social good. We have examined the use of social media in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, creating awareness around the world through a Safe School Campaign and expert opinions, but discovered that its use in disaster prevention and preparedness is less understood. With our product, we aim to educate and empower communities to prepare for and respond to emergencies including natural and man-made disasters. This can be achieved by virtually engaging with the public and connecting with communities to increase the level of basic preparedness across the nation.

How can all the children who have now lost almost three years of education catch up — especially in a region like Borno with historically abysmal attendance rates (about seven out of 10 children didn’t go to school, even before Boko Haram started destroying their schools)? And what about all those burned-out schools, hospitals, bridges and houses? That’s before even thinking about support or treatment for the psychological trauma of witnessing massacres, or being victims of forced marriage and sexual abuse.
On a final note, Chaste has been confirmed to attend the conference which commences on Sunday the 29th May 2016 through till Wednesday 1st June 2016 in Gyeongju, South Korea. He'd be flying the Lufthansa airline on the ‘New Business Class’ alongside Olanrewaju Gideon, Chair of AREAI & other social innovators.
During this period, he'd be visiting the Samsung HQ in South Korea where he'd be giving his presentation using their latest device.
The Event Challenges the status-quo of leaders and will allow for interactive dialogues between global action leaders
