Our annual flagship hackathon.
A continent-wide build event that brings student teams, working operators, and seasoned engineers together to ship real, testable prototypes against an urgent African problem set.
A focused, time-boxed build event held once a year. Teams form around a published problem set, ship a working prototype, and present to a mixed panel of operators, researchers, and investors.
Open to builders across the continent — students, professionals, and operators. Cross-discipline and cross-country teams are welcome and actively encouraged.
Working prototypes, public write-ups, and a small number of follow-on stipends for the most promising builds — to keep working past the event itself.
The first edition is in design.
Format, problem set, partners, and prize structure are being finalised with our ecosystem and AI-infrastructure partners. Exact dates, location, and registration details will be published on this page when the first edition is announced.
