Complete hackathon details
The Akuapem Tech Summit 2026 hackathon takes place on 1 October 2026 at Peduase Valley Resort in Ghana’s Eastern Region. Participants tackle local challenges across areas such as agritech, edtech, fintech and civic tech, with mentors available during the build. The organizer says participants may bring a team or join one on the day, and all experience levels are welcome. Winning teams receive prizes and follow-on support, but the official page does not state amounts. The hackathon page contains an active team-registration form; no application cutoff is stated.
Eligibility requirements
All experience levels are welcome. Participants may bring their own team or join one on the day; the application form requests team and challenge-area information.
Tips for this hackathon
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Choose a concrete Okuapeman problem and describe what your team wants to build; final team sizes and schedule are confirmed by the programme team.
- Read the rules, eligibility, judging criteria, required technologies and intellectual-property terms before forming your submission plan.
- Build a complementary team early and assign product, engineering, design, research and presentation responsibilities clearly.
- Optimize for the published judging rubric: demonstrate a real problem, working solution, measurable impact and a concise live demo.
- Prepare the repository, pitch deck, demo video and submission links before the final hours so upload or platform problems do not invalidate the entry.
- Check whether travel, finalist presentations, team-size limits or mandatory attendance apply before committing.
