A Strategic Pause for a Massive Leap Forward

If you've been counting down the days to HackJos 2025, we have important news that will only intensify your anticipation! The organizers, nHub Nigeria, have announced a slight but strategic shift in the event dates.

Originally scheduled for October, HackJos 2025: Igniting MSME Growth Through Innovation has been officially postponed and will now hold from November 11th to 13th, 2025, at the familiar ground of the Jos Business School, Plateau State.

Why the move? Simple: To deliver an experience that truly matches the theme and the event's 10th-anniversary magnitude. This adjustment allows the team to perfectly align logistics, secure major new partnerships, and fine-tune programming to ensure the most impactful, high-value experience for every developer, designer, entrepreneur, and policymaker in attendance.

Think of it as adding more fuel to the rocket 🚀—the launch is slightly later, but the destination is much further and the journey will be epic!

The Hype is Real: Why November 11-13 Will Be Historic

This isn't just a hackathon; it’s a convergence of the Nigerian tech ecosystem in the heart of the North, marking the 10th Anniversary of nHub, the pioneering innovation cluster in Northern Nigeria.

Here’s what you should be hyping up and preparing for:

1. The Core Focus: Building Nigeria’s Economy through MSMEs

The theme, Igniting MSME Growth Through Innovation, is the most relevant conversation Nigeria needs right now. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) drive over 50% of our GDP, and HackJos is challenging the brightest minds to build scalable, market-ready tech solutions for them.

The 48-hour challenge will focus on four critical tracks:

• Digitalization & E-commerce: Getting local businesses online.
• Financial Inclusion: Creating accessible fintech for the underserved.
• Productivity & Operational Efficiency: Building tools to help small businesses manage their work better.
• Logistics & Last-Mile Delivery: Solving Jos and Nigeria's distribution nightmare.

2. The Speakers and Vibe: Where Leaders Meet Builders

The new date ensures the attendance of some of the biggest names in Nigeria’s tech, policy, and investment landscape. Imagine pitching your solution to:

• The Director-General of PICTDA, Dominic Datong.
• Financial Industry heavyweights like Wapnen Gowok (CEO of Lint Finance).
• Artificial Intelligence guru, David Enyi (CEO of African Intelligence and Bold & Beautiful Creators)
• Tech Industry veterans like Daser David (President, DBI) and other leaders from GIZ and the Plateau State Government.

Expect a full-day Innovation Summit packed with powerful keynote presentations, founders' chats, and policy panels that will not just inspire you, but give you the roadmap to building successful, funded startups.

3. The Jos Advantage: Northern Nigeria’s Tech Spotlight

To our people in Jos and the entire Plateau State: HackJos is our event. It reinforces the city's role as a major hub for innovation in Northern Nigeria. This is your opportunity to collaborate with industry giants, attract investors to the state, and showcase the immense talent brewing in the 'Home of Peace and Tourism.'

The postponement is simply guaranteeing that the celebration of nHub’s decade of impact—culminating in the Hackathon, Innovation Summit, and Anniversary Dinner—will be flawlessly executed and truly unforgettable.

Action Point: The Clock is Ticking (Again!)

The countdown has reset, but the competition and the opportunity remain fierce. If you haven't registered your team or secured your spot, do it now. The November dates are locked in, and the expectation is higher than ever.
