Unveiling: Memoi Africa Announces The Largest Gathering of Developers in Africa.
With great honor and excitement, Memoi Africa announces the largest gathering of developers in East Africa. This unique event will be witnessed by thousands of attendees from all African regions including developers in web3 and web2 techs, founders, VCs, and KOLs.
Some of the high points of Code Africa will include a web3 hackathon building on selected protocols, keynotes and industry leading speakers, workshops, an after party, exhibition booths, and a special startup deal room.
May 2024 is a month to look forward to. But first…what is Memoi, and what is this event about?
Why Memoi Africa?
Secondly, the cryptocurrency landscape in Africa is money-centric, with most participants turning after airdrop rewards. If we remain as consumers, then we will always be at the bottom of the “food chain”. We need more creators in Africa.
Thus, Memoi has taken it upon herself to fight against this potential decline, and we are raising and educating the next generation of developers in Africa. We envision a continent filled with builders and several startups making a global change.
What Is Memoi Africa?
We believe that Africa is the next frontier in shaping the future of tech, as we continue to create solutions to real world problems. Memoi is bridging the gap between African developers and the rest of the world.
Memoi is building a community of 100,000 developers in Africa who want to learn, build, and get jobs. win prizes, explore courses, get access to jobs and life-changing opportunities.
Memoi hosts dynamic hackathons with top partners, uniting diverse developers and innovators.
Our extensive network encompasses partnerships with 40+ prestigious African Universities, providing us with invaluable insights and capabilities in the realm of community-building, campus tours, and ambassador programs.
We also run our own university. Memoi University offers intensive bootcamps, courses, and workshops focused on blockchain, led by industry experts.
Lastly, hire from the highest quality talent network in Africa. Gain direct access to 1000+ technical African talents on demand to work full-time/part-time on a milestone basis.
