The Africa Deep Tech Foundation has officially launched the Africa Deep Tech Challenge 2025, a pan-African innovation initiative designed to spotlight high-impact technologies that thrive under real-world constraints.

Powered by Future Africa and organized in collaboration with Ilorin Tech Hub, CcHub, and IHS, the challenge calls on African innovators to transform scarcity into cutting-edge solutions. It is open to individuals or teams of up to four members, aged 18 or older, residing in eligible African countries. No startup or funding experience is required. Submissions must be original work by the team.

Finalists and winners will receive a range of benefits, including cash grants, mentorship, incubation opportunities, and global exposure. The submission deadline is set for July 31.
