Local Tech Entrepreneur Champions Community Engagement and Economic Empowerment

In a recent episode of Community Update, the CEO of Chisel Technologies, Seun Ashiru shared his journey from a tech expert to a community advocate, shedding light on the critical intersection of technology and community development. With over 15 years of experience in IT infrastructure and web technologies, Ashiru has been instrumental in supporting small and medium-sized businesses, helping them navigate the digital age through affordable tech solutions.

Since migrating to Canada in October 2022, Ashiru has focused on empowering the local community by offering affordable tech services and selling used laptops. His approach is not just about business but about giving back, particularly to new immigrants and those facing financial hardships. Through free or discounted tech support, Chisel Technologies is actively contributing to community upliftment.

A highlight of the episode was the announcement of NigerBiz, a new business directory that aims to promote Nigerian-owned businesses across Canada. This platform, designed to increase online visibility and create networking opportunities, exemplifies Ashiru's commitment to community collaboration and economic empowerment.

This civic initiative reflects how local businesses can drive community engagement and growth. By fostering trust, building relationships, and offering accessible tech solutions, Chisel Technologies demonstrates the impact of businesses investing in both their customers and their communities, ultimately contributing to sustainable development and local economic resilience.
