✨ Hackathon Agenda: ETHSafari 2024
Blockchain’s potential to transform industries and create innovative solutions is becoming increasingly evident. Despite this, we still see a lack of diversity in the types of blockchain based solutions to address real-world problems. There is a unique opportunity to address this lack of diversity particularly in emerging markets like Africa.
Theme:
This year we are not focusing on solving “Africa’s problems” we are focusing on creating “Africa’s innovations”. The theme is inspired by the Prosperity Paradox: How Innovation Can Lift Nations Out of Poverty. This is about building projects from Africa, for the world. The book offers a fresh perspective on the challenges of economic development and poverty alleviation in low-income countries, challenging traditional approaches that often focus on infrastructure, education, and healthcare as primary drivers of development.
