Hashgraph協會和指數科學基金會已啟動Hedera Africa Hackathon 2025

這項黑客馬拉松覆蓋了非洲的大型地區，在20多個非洲城市舉行了現場活動，包括拉各斯，開羅，內羅畢，金沙薩，開普敦，卡薩布蘭卡和突尼斯。

The Hashgraph Association and the Exponential Science Foundation have launched the Hedera Africa Hackathon 2025, a global event designed to accelerate Web3 and artificial intelligence adoption across the African continent.

Hashgraph協會和指數科學基金會已啟動了Hedera Africa Hackathon 2025，這是一項全球活動，旨在加速Web3和整個非洲大陸的人工智能採用。

With a prize pool of $1 million, the hackathon will run from Aug. 1 to Sept. 30 and aims to attract over 10,000 participants across 15 African countries, according to a news release shared with Cointelegraph.

根據Cointelegraph的新聞稿，黑客馬拉鬆的獎金為100萬美元，將於8月1日至9月30日舉行，目的是吸引15個非洲國家 /地區的10,000多名參與者。

Organized by two nonprofit organizations — the Switzerland-based Hashgraph Association and the tech research-focused Exponential Science Foundation — the event is open to developers, students and entrepreneurs worldwide.

該活動由兩個非營利組織（總部位於瑞士的哈希圖協會和以技術研究為重點的指數科學基金會）組織，該活動向全球開發人員，學生和企業家開放。

“We aim to use technologies that converge Web3 with AI to create transparent cognitive solutions that optimize processes and facilitate decision-making and automate the execution,” said Kamal Youssefi, the president of the board of directors at the Hashgraph Association.

Hashgraph協會董事會主席Kamal Youssefi說：“我們的目標是使用將Web3與AI收斂的技術來創建透明的認知解決方案，以優化流程並促進決策並自動執行執行。”

All solutions will be built on the Hedera network across four tracks: onchain finance and real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation; ESG sustainability and traceability; self-sovereign identity (SSI) and AI; and gaming, metaverse and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

所有解決方案都將在Hedera網絡上跨四個曲目建立：OnChain Finance和Real World Asset（RWA）Tokenisation； ESG的可持續性和可追溯性；自我主張身份（SSI）和AI；以及遊戲，元和無牙的代幣（NFTS）。

Up to 15 outstanding teams will receive prizes based on innovation, impact and alignment with the hackathon’s goals.

最多15支傑出的團隊將根據創新，影響和與黑客馬拉鬆的目標保持一致。

This Hackathon covers large areas in Africa, with onsite events in over 20 African cities including Lagos, Cairo, Nairobi, Kinshasa, Cape Town, Casablanca and Tunis.

這項黑客馬拉松覆蓋了非洲的大型地區，在20多個非洲城市舉行了現場活動，包括拉各斯，開羅，內羅畢，金沙薩，開普敦，卡薩布蘭卡和突尼斯。

Interest in Africa’s Web3 potential is growing, with more than 50 partners and 100 universities and tech hubs having already joined the Hedera Africa Hackathon.

對非洲Web3潛力的興趣正在增長，有50多個合作夥伴，100個大學和技術樞紐已經加入了Hedera Africa Hackathon。

Africa’s Web3 talents are poised for global impact

非洲的Web3才能已準備好應對全球影響

Due to high inflation, a weak banking system and widespread corruption, many people in Africa lack access to reliable financial services. This creates opportunities for Web3 projects like Jambo and Yellow Card to offer alternatives for saving and earning.

由於通貨膨脹率高，銀行體系和廣泛的腐敗，非洲許多人無法獲得可靠的金融服務。這為Jambo和黃牌等Web3項目創造了機會，以提供節省和賺錢的替代方案。

Kamal highlighted Africa’s strength in its “young population with ambitious tech talents.” He cited Hedera’s partnership with Orange, a telecommunications operator, to launch digital empowerment programs across 16 African countries — initiatives that “include training, certification and the establishment of incubation and accelerator centers.”

卡馬爾（Kamal）強調了非洲在其“具有雄心勃勃的技術人才的年輕人口”中的實力。他引用了Hedera與電信運營商Orange的合作夥伴關係，以在16個非洲國家啟動數字授權計劃，這些計劃“包括培訓，認證和建立孵化和加速中心”。

“Africa brings a unique advantage to Web3, a demographic edge and a proven capacity for digital adoption,” said Paolo Tasca, executive chairman of the Exponential Science Foundation. Yet, he noted that "barriers remain, particularly in foundational infrastructure and education.”

指數科學基金會執行董事長Paolo Tasca說：“非洲為Web3帶來了獨特的優勢。”然而，他指出：“障礙仍然存在，尤其是在基礎基礎設施和教育中。”

Governments are also ramping up talent development. Nigeria, for example, recently launched an annual initiative to train 1,000 citizens in artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies.

政府還在加大人才的發展。例如，尼日利亞最近發起了一項年度倡議，以培訓1,000名人工智能和區塊鏈技術公民。
