The challenge targets innovators developing technology-based solutions in agriculture, education, healthcare, financial inclusion, and clean and affordable energy.
According to the organisers, applicants are required to form teams of between two and five members, with all participants aged 18 and above.
The top three teams will share a ₦10m prize pool, alongside opportunities for mentorship, national visibility and incubation to support the development and expansion of their innovations.
The application deadline is November 15, 2026, at 11:59 pm West African Time (WAT).
The initiative is aimed at encouraging innovation and supporting technology-driven solutions capable of addressing socio-economic challenges across Nigeria.
