Hackathon Application

Welcome to the 2025 NaijaSDGs Hackathon.

About The Hackathon

This hackathon is an innovation initiative of the Financial Centre for Sustainability, Lagos (FC4S Lagos), in collaboration with its partners. It is dedicated to leveraging Digital Technology and emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) to accelerate the development of solutions that advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

At the heart of the hackathon is the opportunity to secure one of the ₦1,000,000 seed grants awarded to the top three solutions . The value goes far beyond funding; participants should expect to gain mentorship from industry experts, access to networks, and the chance to refine their solutions alongside peers tackling similar challenges. The journey culminates at the Demo Day / Sustainable Finance Day, where winners will not only receive their seed grants but also showcase their innovations to potential partners and investors, positioning them for real-world growth and long-term impact

Before You Begin
The Naija SDGs hackathon is about real solutions for humanity, not generic ideas. Please avoid copy-paste submissions or AI-generated text that lacks your own thinking. What we want to see are practical ideas that have been validated, tested, and proven to an extent, and can truly grow into scalable digital solutions for achieving the SDGs if nurtured through the program.
