About track
The Open Innovation Track empowers participants to identify and solve quantum-relevant problems that may not fit into the structured challenge tracks. This track recognizes that Africa's quantum ecosystem needs diverse solutions across multiple domains, and that the best problems are often identified by those closest to them.
