Africa Deep Tech Challenge 2025

About the Challenge Africa Deep Tech Challenge 2025 is powered by Future Africa and in collaboration with Ilorin Tech Hub, CcHub, and IHS. The theme Resource-Constrained Computing is a pan-African challenge designed to spotlight and empower the next generation of innovators solving complex problems with limited resources. Whether its building AI models on edge devices, designing offline-first systems, decentralized compute or developing energy-efficient tech, this challenge invites you to rethink whats possible when constraints inspire creativity. Resource-constrained computing solutions focus on optimizing computational tasks when resources like power, memory, and processing capabilities are limited, often in devices like communication devices, sensors, and embedded systems. This isnt just about code or hardwareits about the journey. Were looking for builders who can not only create solutions, but also tell the story of how they solved for Africas unique infrastructural realities. From agriculture to fintech, education to health, participants are encouraged to build in any domainso long as your solution thrives under real-world constraints. Get Started Join us to build groundbreaking, efficient, and scalable technologies that could shape the future of computing in Africaand beyond. The most compelling innovators will get funding, mentorship, and access to a pipeline of deep tech investment opportunities.
