In a country where unstable grid power remains one of the most persistent challenges for homes and businesses, the need for reliable, sustainable energy solutions has never been more urgent.
Nigeria’s rapid economic growth and burgeoning startup scene are hampered daily by frequent blackouts, spoiled perishables and interrupted operations.
Recognizing this critical gap, Haisic Nigeria has positioned itself at the forefront of energy innovation, offering advanced battery and inverter systems designed to bring dependable power to Nigerian entrepreneurs and consumers alike.
At Lagos Startup Expo 2.0 by Techpoint Africa, a key event that brings together innovators, investors, and entrepreneurs from across Nigeria and beyond, Haisic Nigeria stepped into the spotlight not just as an exhibitor but as the headline sponsor.
Their presence underscored a commitment to empowering startups and nurturing a resilient Nigerian tech ecosystem.
Dr. Seify Gaya, Managing Director of Haisic Nigeria sheds light on the company’s mission, their innovative solutions and how they are fueling Nigeria’s entrepreneurial revolution.
Reliable Power as a Catalyst for Growth
Haisic Nigeria’s mission is to make reliable power a reality for everyday Nigerians. Under Dr. Gaya’s leadership, the company designs, manufactures, and distributes cutting-edge lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) batteries and high-efficiency inverters. Their goal is not merely to sell products but to enable a fundamental shift in how Nigerians access and utilize energy.
In Nigeria, where the national grid’s unreliability impacts millions, Haisic’s solutions aim to bridge the gap between demand and supply. Their modular battery systems and smart inverters are engineered to provide seamless backup power, off-grid energy or hybrid solutions that combine solar and stored energy, ensuring that homes, small businesses and startups can operate uninterrupted even during outages.
Addressing a Critical Need
The problem Haisic Nigeria tackles is as complex as it is urgent. Frequent power outages disrupt productivity, spoil perishable goods and inflate operational costs for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). For startups, especially those in tech, manufacturing and service sectors, unstable power can be a dealbreaker, limiting growth and scalability.
Haisic’s approach is to provide modular, scalable energy systems that can be tailored to different needs. Their batteries, based on LiFePO₄ chemistry, are renowned for their safety, durability and long cycle life. Paired with their intelligent inverters, these systems allow users to switch seamlessly between grid power, battery backup or renewable sources like solar.
By deploying such solutions, Haisic empowers startups to operate more efficiently, reduce downtime and cut operating costs. In effect, they are transforming energy from a frequent obstacle into a strategic enabler for innovation and growth.
Sponsoring Lagos Startup Expo 2.0: A Strategic Move
Haisic Nigeria’s decision to sponsor Lagos Startup Expo 2.0 underscores their commitment to the local startup ecosystem.
“Innovation flourishes when passionate, driven people come together,” says Dr. Gaya. “This expo embodies that spirit, and we’re proud to support it.”
As a headline sponsor, Haisic aims to foster connections with fellow innovators working on promising projects that align with their vision of sustainable development. Many startups present at the expo are exploring clean energy, smart IoT solutions, and sustainable infrastructure, areas where Haisic’s technology can offer significant synergy.
By engaging directly with young entrepreneurs and developers, Haisic hopes to exchange ideas, identify emerging trends, and explore collaborative opportunities. For example, startups working on solar-powered devices or IoT-powered energy management systems could benefit from Haisic’s reliable power solutions, creating a mutually beneficial ecosystem.

Beyond business opportunities, Haisic Nigeria’s sponsorship reflects a genuine desire to nurture local talent.
Dr. Gaya emphasizes the importance of investing in Nigeria’s engineering and tech communities: “Our future depends on the ingenuity of young engineers, developers and entrepreneurs. We want to create an environment where their ideas can thrive, supported by reliable power and innovative solutions.”
This commitment is evident in Haisic’s efforts to engage with students, incubators, and innovation hubs across Nigeria. The company has initiated training programs, technical workshops, and mentorship opportunities aimed at building capacity in energy technology and entrepreneurship.
What to Expect at the Haisic Booth
At Lagos Startup Expo 2.0, Haisic Nigeria’s booth was designed to be interactive and educational. Visitors could explore their latest battery and inverter models through live demonstrations, understand the technology behind LiFePO₄ chemistry, and learn about the benefits of hybrid and off-grid energy solutions.
One of the highlights was a real-time simulation showing how Haisic’s systems can automatically switch between grid power and battery backup during outages. Attendees also had the chance to speak directly with engineers and product specialists, fostering a deeper understanding of how these solutions can be customized for various applications, from powering small kiosks to supporting entire startup incubators.
The booth also showcased success stories of Nigerian startups and SMEs that have adopted Haisic’s systems, illustrating practical benefits such as increased operational uptime, cost savings and environmental sustainability.
Powering Nigeria’s Startup Ecosystem
Haisic Nigeria’s participation at Lagos Startup Expo 2.0 is more than a marketing exercise. It is a strategic move to catalyze Nigeria’s transition toward a more resilient, innovation-driven economy. Reliable power is often cited as a significant barrier to startup growth and by providing affordable, high-quality energy solutions, Haisic is directly addressing this challenge.
Moreover, as Nigeria’s startup scene continues to grow, spanning fintech, agritech, healthtech, and more, so does the demand for dependable energy infrastructure. Haisic’s solutions are designed to scale, ensuring that the country’s entrepreneurs can operate without the constant worry of blackouts.
Their focus on sustainability also aligns with Nigeria’s broader goals of reducing carbon emissions and adopting cleaner energy sources. Lithium-based batteries and hybrid systems contribute to a greener energy landscape, positioning Nigeria as a leader in sustainable innovation.
Looking Ahead: A Bright Future
As Nigeria’s startup ecosystem matures, the role of reliable energy solutions will become even more critical. Haisic Nigeria’s presence at Lagos Startup Expo 2.0 signals a new era where technology and innovation converge to solve fundamental infrastructure problems.
