Africa’s largest hackathon, AfriHacks returns to unleash innovation, empower talents

AfriHacks, Africa’s premier hackathon, is back to inspire innovation and foster economic empowerment across the continent. Organized by World Innovation League (WIL), AfriHacks 2023 is set to once again redefine the tech landscape, providing a unique platform for African talent to shine.

AfriHacks, previously known as NaijaHacks and AfricaHacks, has evolved under the visionary leadership of Uchi Uchibeke, Founder and CEO of Chimoney, and now falls under the WIL umbrella. This transformation reflects WIL’s commitment to empowering builders, innovators, and startups globally.

Participants in AfriHacks 2023 will embark on a journey of creation, collaboration, and learning. From aspiring coders to seasoned tech enthusiasts, AfriHacks welcomes individuals from all skill levels and backgrounds to participate. This inclusivity has been a hallmark of the event, empowering both new and experienced talent to come together and bring their innovative ideas to life.

A unique feature of AfriHacks is its virtual nature, enabling participants to join from anywhere in the world. Workshops, mentorship sessions, and the highly anticipated Demo Day will all take place online, ensuring accessibility for all.

The hackathon will focus on various domains, including AI, web3, hardware, and more, offering participants diverse challenges and opportunities. With a total of over 30 prizes worth exceeding $100,000 in cash and benefits, AfriHacks aims to recognize and reward exceptional creativity and problem-solving.

This year, AfriHacks is proud to be presented by Chimoney, a global payout platform revolutionizing the way we handle financial transactions. Chimoney simplifies payments, allowing users to send funds using only an email or phone number, with recipients having the flexibility to cash out to bank accounts, gift cards, mobile money, airtime, or even cryptocurrency.

Chimoney’s commitment to innovation and economic empowerment aligns seamlessly with AfriHacks’ mission. As the title sponsor, Chimoney will play a pivotal role in ensuring that the event runs smoothly, including facilitating the payout of prizes to winners and the distribution of perks and rewards to hackers worldwide.
