We invite you to join us for the closed portion of the U.S.-West Africa Tech Challenge on September 27, 2023.

Eight finalist organizations will present their technologies to a panel of judges. Up to three organizations will be selected as winners of the Challenge and will receive funding totaling $250,000 USD. The winners will be announced on Day 2 of the event.
This event will be held as a hybrid event, both in-person and live-streamed. Please register to confirm your spot. Only approved registrations will receive the full event details.
