Organized by the World Innovation League (WIL), AfriHacks 2023 is set to redefine the technological landscape and provide a unique platform for African talent to shine.
Under the visionary leadership of Uchi Uchibeke, Founder and CEO of Chimoney, AfriHacks, formerly known as NaijaHacks and AfricaHacks, has evolved and now falls under the WIL umbrella. This transformation is a testament to WIL’s commitment to empowering builders, innovators, and startups globally.
