The 1st Edition of the Enugu Campus Hackathon was not merely a competition — it was the launch of a structured, detailed accelerator programme designed to institutionalise an investment-ready venture pipeline in Enugu State.

This is a disciplined founder development and capital deployment platform, built to identify, formalise, accelerate, and fund high-potential startups emerging from our universities.

Here are the teams leading that momentum:

Under the leadership of His Excellency, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, Enugu State is deliberately transitioning from a $4.4 billion economy to a $30 billion productivity-led economy, anchored on technology, human capital development, and structured capital deployment.

Through the Enugu MSME & Startup Agency, we are not organising events.
We are building venture infrastructure.
We are accelerating founders.
We are deploying capital with discipline.
