Lagos, Nigeria — May 2025

Innovation. Inclusion. Integration. These are the pillars shaping the future of Africa as the AfCFTA Hackathon 2025 officially kicks off at the iconic Landmark Event Centre in Lagos.

The hackathon, organized under the auspices of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), brings together Africa’s brightest minds — developers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and digital creatives — to co-create solutions that will power Africa’s digital trade ecosystem.

💡 A Hackathon for Africa, by Africa

With over 50 teams selected from across the continent, the AfCFTA Hackathon 2025 isn’t just about writing code — it’s about building bridges between African nations through digital innovation.

Participants are tackling challenges that cut across:

  • Cross-border payments
  • Financial inclusion
  • Cultural fintech and mobile commerce
  • Offline-first digital infrastructure
  • Youth-driven entrepreneurship tools

This year’s theme — “Code for Change, Build for Africa” — captures the heart of AfCFTA’s goal to digitally unite Africa through inclusive trade, seamless commerce, and scalable innovation.
