On Saturday, April 19, 2025, Cardano Ghana brought the momentum of its Developer and Tech Hubs Onboarding Workshop Series to AyaHQ Builder Hub in Accra. This milestone event marked the final stop in our current tour—which began in Tamale, passed through Kumasi, and concluded in Ghana’s capital, Accra. With plans already hopefully to expand to other untapped cities, the mission to educate and onboard Africa’s builders into Cardano is far from over!
The workshop at AyaHQ brought together an enthusiastic group of developers and innovators eager to explore the Cardano ecosystem. Mohammed Mustapha Yakubu, Madam Afia Owusu, Richmond Oppong, and Nana Safo led insightful sessions covering a range of topics, including:
- An introduction to Cardano and its vision,
- Project Catalyst and how to get involved,
- Opportunities in blockchain for African developers,
- Practical insights into Cardano walleting and transactions, and
- Building on Cardano using smart contracts and developer tools.
We are deeply grateful to Kwame Stalwart, Hub Administrator and COO of AyaHQ Builder Hub, for the warm welcome and generous partnership in making this event a success.
Adding an exciting international dimension to the workshop, we were joined by three passionate builders from across Africa: Muhammad (Nigeria), Diana (Uganda), and Labore (Togo). Each expressed keen interest in bringing Cardano to their home countries—especially Uganda and Togo—and building real-world solutions powered by Cardano’s technology.
In his remarks, Mohammed Mustapha Yakubu highlighted the openness of the Cardano community to new members and leaders across the globe. He encouraged our guests and participants to get involved in Project Catalyst, apply for the Cardano Ambassador Programme, and become active contributors to Cardano’s mission of global impact.
The event concluded with lively networking sessions, idea sharing, and a post-workshop survey to gather feedback for even better engagements ahead.
We look forward to continuing this journey across Africa, unlocking innovation, empowering local talents, and building the future—together with Cardano.
