The NaijaHacks Hackathon will take place for the third time on October 30, 2020, and this year we will focus on enabling young people across the continent to virtually design, innovate, and learn at home. From October 30, 2020, accredited teams and individuals will have the opportunity to develop creative solutions to address pressing local and global challenges in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas.
This year’s virtual event will include two days of virtual pitching, workshops, presentations, and workshops with over 100 teams from across Africa.
Speaking in Toronto, Canada, Uchi Uchibeke, founder of NaijaHacks, said: “NaijaHacks continues to work to give Nigerian and African youth the opportunity to start businesses.
