Everything you need to know

AyaHQ's mission is to unlock innovation across Africa by empowering tech talent, strengthening startups, and building the infrastructure that supports thriving ecosystems. We do this by providing programs, spaces, and opportunities that help builders create real solutions, access mentorship, and scale impactful ventures.

We organize hackathons and innovation challenges where organizations launch ideas and builders create real-world solutions. We run incubation programs that offer mentorship, resources, and funding access for promising startups. Through our physical builder hubs — co-working spaces, event venues, and residency programs across different African cities — we provide environments where builders can collaborate and grow. Together, AyaHQ builds a strong pipeline that moves talent from ideas to innovation, to startups, and ultimately to ecosystem growth.

We operate two builder hubs — in Accra, Ghana and Kilifi, Kenya — with more locations planned. AyaHQ has a continent-wide digital community engaging 6,000+ builders and runs events and hackathons across multiple African regions. We are rapidly expanding our physical and digital footprint to support builders across the continent.

AyaHQ offers a full spectrum of support — hackathons and innovation challenges that help teams validate ideas and ship working prototypes; a 12-week incubation program that provides mentorship, resources, and access to funding; and builder hubs that serve as collaborative spaces for co-working, events, workshops, and residencies. Through these programs, we equip African builders and founders with the tools, guidance, and community they need to launch and grow successful startups.

We support both builders and organizations through an integrated ecosystem — hackathons, a 12-week incubation program, and physical builder hubs. We help organizations drive innovation while giving builders the structure, community, and support they need to turn ideas into real, scalable products, all within one unified platform.

We stay ahead by constantly engaging with builders, startups, and industry leaders to understand emerging trends and real market needs. We collaborate with forward-thinking partners — such as Lisk and other ecosystem supporters — to bring fresh insights, tools, and technologies into our programs. Continuous iteration of our hackathons, incubation curriculum, and community initiatives keeps our work aligned with the most current practices in tech.

Yes. AyaHQ collaborates with organizations, mentors, investors, and innovators globally who want to support or engage with Africa's growing tech ecosystem.

AyaHQ's long-term vision is to become Africa's leading innovation backbone — supporting millions of builders, accelerating thousands of startups, and establishing builder hubs across key African cities. Over the next decade, we aim to create a continent-wide network that drives innovation, economic growth, and global relevance for African tech ecosystems.
