We’re grateful to all our amazing speakers who inspired the Fellows during the Developers Foundry 2.0 Orientation Ceremony themed “AI as a Copilot: Building the Next Generation of African Tech Leaders.”

Each session was a reminder that Africa’s greatest resource is its people, bold, creative minds ready to harness the power of AI and technology to shape a brighter future. From thought-provoking discussions to practical advice, our speakers challenged the Fellows to dream bigger, work smarter, and lead with purpose.

A special thank you to our partner, @ukngtechhub, for making this possible and for their continued support in building Africa’s tech talent pipeline.

Our very first physical meetup for Developers Foundry 1.0 (Nigeria) was packed with powerful moments.

From fellows meeting in person for the first time, to sharing their DF journeys, showcasing projects across learning tracks, and bonding over “Two Truths and a Lie.”

We also had the honor of hosting reps from @FCDOGovUK and @ukngtechhub , whose words challenged our fellows to stay curious, committed, and confident.

It wasn’t just a meetup, it was a room full of purpose, growth, and real tech dreams taking shape.

Ready to start your journey?
