The selection process is currently underway
Following the registration phase, the NoCode Hack team has entered an important stage in the selection process.
Out of the 162 registered teams, 97 teams have been selected to participate in remote interviews.
These interviews are being conducted by a group of specialists and experts, who are assessing the participating teams and their projects based on their ideas, potential, readiness and ability to develop meaningful solutions.
At the end of this phase, approximately 50 teams will be selected to continue their journey in the next stage of the competition.
Remote training: September 17–22
The selected teams will then participate in an intensive online training program from September 17 to September 22.
This training phase will allow participants to:
develop and refine their ideas;
strengthen their digital and entrepreneurial skills;
discover and effectively use No-Code tools;
improve their approach to problem-solving;
prepare their projects for the next stages of NoCode Hack.
The journey follows a clear philosophy:
Learn. Build. Impact.
NoCode Hack aims to provide participants with the opportunity to move from an idea or a real-world challenge to a concrete and innovative digital solution.
Orkids: Supporting the journey since the first edition
For Orkids, supporting NoCode Hack is part of its commitment to encouraging innovation, entrepreneurship and the development of new digital skills.
As an incubator, Orkids has accompanied the initiative since its first edition, witnessing its evolution from a local initiative in Annaba into an event that now brings together talents from different parts of Africa.
This evolution demonstrates the potential of initiatives that create opportunities for young talents to learn, experiment, collaborate and build solutions.
Making innovation more accessible through No-Code
One of the strengths of NoCode Hack is its focus on No-Code technologies, which allow participants to develop digital solutions without requiring advanced programming skills.
This approach contributes to making digital innovation more accessible to a wider range of people, including entrepreneurs, students, designers, creators and professionals from different fields.
For African ecosystems, this represents an opportunity to encourage more people to turn their ideas into tangible digital projects.
As the second edition progresses, NoCode Hack continues its journey from Algeria to Africa, connecting talents and creating new opportunities for collaboration and innovation.
