Hackathon 2025

The Enugu Campus Hackathon 2025 is here to unite a bold generation of thinkers, creators, and problem-solvers from six leading universities to build breakthrough solutions that confront real-world challenges with courage and code.

It's a high-stakes innovation arena powered by vision, collaboration, and the belief that the next global emerging tech revolution can start from campus grounds. From FinTech that unlocks access, to AgriTech that feeds communities, from AI that teaches, to Clean Energy systems that power tomorrow, you'll be creating technologies that matter.
