CATS Lagos Demo & Hacking Day | NexTrend Hub
Join us for the climax of the CATS Hackathon journey, a full day of innovation, knowledge exchange, and networking dedicated to building Africa's regenerative future. This critical gathering is for anyone passionate about Web3, sustainable technology, and the transformation of the African economy. Witness firsthand how ideas move from community ground truth research to viable, regenerative solutions designed for lasting impact.
The program's core theme is the Regenerative Principle. This powerful philosophy moves beyond mere sustainability (doing no harm) to demand active restoration and positive contribution to both society and environment. In the African technology landscape, this means rejecting extractive business models in every sector, from agriculture to finance, and health to infrastructure, and designing systems that instead:
Restore Social Capital: Building platforms that formalize and reward local trust and community wisdom.
Regenerate Wealth: Ensuring that value created by African innovators is retained and reinvested within their local economies.
Increase Systemic Resilience: Creating self-sustaining ecosystems that can withstand financial, environmental, and infrastructural shocks.
Attend to learn how this principle is the ethical and profitable roadmap for all African tech. Whether you are a developer, investor, academic, community leader, or simply curious about our continent's future, this day offers unparalleled value. You will be the first to see the final regenerative solutions developed by the CATS Hackathon Participating teams across various industries. You'll gain direct insights into the Action Learning Approach and the practical application of the Regenerative Principle in project design. Plus, enjoy complimentary food, snacks, and refreshments throughout the day, and connect directly with Mentors, Speakers, and Industry Leaders who are driving change across Nigeria. Take advantage of fantastic networking opportunities and the chance to receive exclusive gifts and movement merchandise. Don't just watch Africa's technological rise, participate in its design.
