Innovation Meets the Future: Highlights from COSTECH Smart City Hackathon & Workshop 2025

By The Chronicles of Construction

The future of Nigeria’s built environment came alive at the COSTECH Smart City Hackathon & Workshop 2025, where brilliant minds, innovative ideas, and cutting-edge technology collided in an unforgettable experience.

Over several days, professionals, students, and innovators from across the built environment converged to explore solutions shaping tomorrow’s cities. From BIM applications to smart housing concepts, and from digital design tools to urban planning innovations, the workshop proved to be a melting pot of knowledge and creativity.

But the real thrill came at the Hackathon showcase — where individuals put their talent to the test, pitching groundbreaking solutions for smart city living. Out of several inspiring presentations, three winners emerged:

1st Place – ₦1,000,000
2nd Place – ₦750,000
3rd Place – ₦500,000

Each idea reflected the transformative power of technology in addressing Nigeria’s housing, infrastructure, and urban planning challenges.

The event wasn’t just about competition. It was about collaboration. With strong support from professional bodies such as the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), the Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON), and other key stakeholders, the workshop created a platform where knowledge met practice — proving that the future of our cities will be built by collective effort.

As always, The Chronicles of Construction was on ground, capturing every insightful moment, every pitch, and every celebration. For us, this is more than coverage — it’s about telling the stories that shape the future of the built environment.

Catch up with the highlights of COSTECH Hackathon 2025 on our platforms — and get ready! The next edition comes up in December 2025. Bigger, bolder, and smarter.

The future is already here — and it’s being built, one idea at a time.
