CloudAudit, an emerging startup nurtured under the Solution Innovation District (SID) Business Incubation Program, has emerged winner of the GITEX Nigeria South East Regional Pitch Competition beating startups from all the South Eastern states. This win secures the startup a coveted spot to represent the South East at the national finals, and potentially at GITEX Global, one of the world's largest and most influential tech and startup events.
