The programme is being delivered in collaboration with Nigeria’s 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) programme, the National Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (NCAIR) under the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, and Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Nigeria (RAIN).
As part of the initiative, Nigerian startups building with AI are being invited to submit their solutions for consideration and pitching.
The top 10 submissions will be selected to pitch their solutions live at GITEX Nigeria on September 3, 2026.
Following the pitch competition, two winning startups will each receive $5,000 in cash funding, Meta advertising credits and an all-expenses-paid opportunity to compete against startups from Africa, the Middle East and Türkiye at the AI Summit by Meta in Istanbul in November 2026.
The initiative is positioned to provide Nigerian AI startups with funding, visibility and opportunities to connect with a wider regional and international innovation ecosystem.
