2023 – Geekulcha

Geekulcha is where young, skilled, creative, and ambitious tech minds meet to connect with each other, share knowledge, collaborate on projects, network with industry leaders and obtain training to further improve and enhance their skills and put those newly acquired skills to work. Since launching in 2013, the platform has grown to a community of over 19,000 young techies, innovators, and entrepreneurs across Africa. We work with clients from the public, private, academic, and community sectors to drive talent development, design thinking and innovation, youth empowerment, and social and economic impact. Our work has been internationally recognized, including a profile by the World Bank in the form of a case study and mini-documentary video. In 2022, we were awarded a Special Ministerial Award at the Public Sector Innovation Awards for our innovative youth programmes.
