AfricaHacks is the brainchild of Uchi Uchibeke, a Nigerian-Canadian Engineer with both SecureKey and PeerCosign, AfricaHacks makes opportunities available to African youth to start tech companies or get good tech jobs. Uchi started AfricaHacks because of the impact that participating and winning Hackathons at Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, Waterloo, and many more had on him and his career. He wanted to bring a similar experience to young people in Nigeria to enable them to build solutions that make themselves, their families, and the world better. 

Today, AfricaHacks organizes and support Hackathons across all African countries and partners with African tech companies and others around the world to incubate new African tech companies.
