Everybody Can Build

TechOff 2026 is where Africa's sharpest tech minds go head to head. Real tasks.

Real pressure. One cash prize. Five cities. One Icon.

ABOUT TECHOFF

TechOff is not your regular competition. It’s a reality show built for the generation that learned to code before they could drive. Builders, designers, product thinkers, and problem-solvers come together, get put under serious pressure, and show Africa what they’ve got.
