Snakebite envenoming is a critical, neglected health challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa. The SnakeHack is a two-day collaborative innovation sprint designed to help innovators move beyond theoretical ideas and develop practical, scalable solutions that address real-world patient journeys.

Unlike traditional hackathons, this is not a competition. It is a guided working environment where multidisciplinary teams—including clinicians, researchers, logisticians, and digital health innovators—refine their entries. Using a patient journey framework, participants will stress-test solutions against operational realities, ensuring alignment with the Wellcome Snakebite Innovation Prize priorities.

Whether you are a startup, a health practitioner, or an implementation expert, the SnakeHack provides the structured support, mentorship, and collaborative space needed to build grounded, impactful interventions.

Event registration will be available shortly. To receive updates on events, please register as an interested innovator.
