Nigeria will host the AfCFTA Hackathon 2025, which will take place at the Landmark Event Centre in Lagos, from May 1–3, 2025. The event will bring together developers, entrepreneurs, and innovators from across Africa to build tech solutions for the continent’s digital trade challenges.

Themed “Empowering Youth for Africa’s Future Trade,” the event aims to drive innovation in areas such as e-commerce, digital payments, logistics, and digital identity. Participants will work on ideas that enhance cross-border trade under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

The hackathon supports AfCFTA’s broader goals of economic integration and trade facilitation, with winning ideas potentially piloted for real-world application.
