The Hashgraph Association, a Swiss non-profit organisation driving global adoption of Hedera-powered solutions by funding innovation, training, certification and venture building programmes, in collaboration with Exponential Science Foundation, launched the Hedera Africa Hackathon 2025 to enable the next generation of Web developers and empower economic inclusion in Africa with a digital future for all.
This biggest Web3 Hackathon initiative combines online participation with onsite events in over 20 African cities, with a goal of attracting over 10,000 participants across more than 15 countries on the African continent. Developers, students and entrepreneurs are invited to collaborate to build decentralised solutions on Hedera across industries such as finance, healthcare, telecoms, sustainability, agriculture and manufacturing, while leveraging the convergence of other deep technologies such as AI, IoT, Robotics and Quantum Computing, with a prize pool of more than $1 million on offer for the winning teams and projects.
With global participation officially opens from August 1 to September 30, the hackathon tasks applicants to develop blockchain/distributed ledger technology (DLT)-based, scalable solutions tailored to the continent’s most urgent challenges and needs. All solutions will be built on the Hedera network - the world’s most energy-efficient and cost-effective DLT, which offers cost predictability, the highest levels of security, and the ability to support reliable, scalable and enterprise-grade applications.
