In a thrilling development for the tech community, The Zone, well known as ‘Zone Tech Park’ by the tech community, has inked an exciting partnership with AfriHacks, also known as AfricaHacks.
This collaboration is set to close the year with a bang as it paves the way for AfriHacks 2023, the continent’s most prestigious hackathon.
AfriHacks, part of World Innovation League, a brainchild of the visionary Uchi Uchibeke, is an impactful tech community for Africans and people of African Descent globally. With its community of over 30,000 members across 10 countries, it’s a driving force for innovation among African tech enthusiasts.
The synergy between AfriHacks and The Zone promises to unlock economic opportunities for tech enthusiasts. It’s more than just an event; it’s a union of like-minded individuals passionate about driving change through technology. AfriHacks 2023, hosted at The Zone, will undoubtedly be a melting pot of groundbreaking ideas, disruptive innovations, and collaborative spirit.
Uchi Uchibeke, who is also CEO of Toronto-based Payment Infrastructure company, Chimoney, expressed his excitement, saying, “We’re thrilled to partner with The Zone, a hub of innovation and creativity. AfriHacks 2023 will be a game-changer.”
The Zone, on the other hand, is more than just an event venue; it’s an ecosystem that redefines the possibilities for events and a hub of technological advancement and creativity.
Situated in the heart of Lagos, it has become synonymous with fostering innovation in Africa through events and through the provision of world-class spaces – from conference halls to private serviced offices. The Zone is nurturing tech innovations, opening its doors to this groundbreaking event.
“The Zone is delighted to support AfriHacks in this endeavour. Together, we’re advancing the tech frontier in Africa,” stated Olutomi Rone, CEO of The Zone. “We’re set up to welcome tech organizations and events from around the globe and we cannot wait to host more tech events at The Zone”.
The hackathon promises to be an unparalleled gathering of tech aficionados, showcasing the brilliance of Africa’s tech landscape. Participants can anticipate a transformative experience, with prizes, mentorship, and opportunities like never before.
With sponsors like Interswitch, Chimoney, Packt, Scrim, and many others on board, AfriHacks 2023 is poised to be a monumental event, propelling African innovation to new heights. The full potentials of the partnership will be unleashed on December 14, 2023, as attendees will witness the future of tech unfold at The Zone.
