NYFF Hackathon Solution Pitch The NYFF Hackathon at SIPA Conference 2025 is a platform for Nigerian youth to showcase innovative solutions addressing critical challenges in civic participation, governance, employment, and financial literacy. The hackathon invites young entrepreneurs, innovators, developers, and change-makers to submit their ideas through a dedicated application process, which is outlined in the applicant guide.
Participants are encouraged to develop projects aligned with three key themes: digital innovation for civic engagement and good governance, future of work and employability, and financial inclusion and literacy. During the hackathon, teams will pitch their ideas before a panel of judges, with the opportunity to win seed funding of $1,000 to prototype and pilot their solutions. All submissions should include a clear pitch deck.
This hackathon is not just a competition but a platform for youth-led social change, providing visibility for innovative ideas and pathways for long-term support and incubation.
Be part of this transformative experience and help shape Nigeria’s future by turning creative ideas into impactful solutions.
