Zimbabwe’s Hypercube Hub To Host SuperHyper Hackathon& Startup Bus Africa

 Launching Wednesday November 13 with great a launch party, Zimbabwe’s Hypercube Hub will also host a fast paced two-day hackathon dubbed SuperHyper, and a Kickoff event on November 17 for Startup Bus Africa’s inaugural 5 day trip from Harare to Cape Town.

The Startup Bus Africa Kickoff event will explore the role of technology in the growth and development of Zimbabwe and the region. It will be an open panel discussion aimed at generating conversation around the various sectors that digital technology can impact including health, education, agriculture and entrepreneurship. This event will also set the tone for the work that Hypercube Hub plans to do following its launch.

Hypercube aims to transform Zimbabwe’s startup ecosystem by fostering an inclusive and diverse technology eco-system by focusing on four dimensions – Co-working, Co-learning, Co-mmunity and Co-innovation – and will also actively encourage, strengthen, and support the participation of women in the technology sector, as well as stimulate job creation for the youth through entrepreneurship and innovation.

According to Hypercube’s Community Manager, Irene Chikumbo, “Our goal is to harness the collective intelligence and experiences of the nation’s human capital to drive technological solutions aligned to the needs of everyday Zimbabweans, from the vegetable seller at Mbare Musika in Harare to the unemployed youth; from entrepreneurs and developers, to farmers, corporates, government bodies, students, women’s groups, and digital natives. We believe in local solutions to local issues.”

Membership to the hub will be on a sliding scale and based on individual needs. At every level, access to Internet and other resources will be available, suiting the needs of those requiring an inspirational space to work with stable Internet and electricity, to those needing a place and resources – hardware, software, testing devices – to develop ideas and products. The hub will provide opportunities for learning and collaboration, along with mentorship, training, and consulting.
