About the Event
The Africa Deep Tech Challenge 2026 focuses on building practical AI and machine learning solutions optimized for real-world constraints in Africa — low-bandwidth networks, limited compute, and diverse local languages. The flagship challenge is the Laptop LLM Challenge: build on-device AI models that run on consumer hardware without internet access. Open to African student developers and global participants, the competition promotes AI research and entrepreneurship tailored to African contexts and needs.
