About the Challenge

"Spark Infinity" encourages developers to adopt leading technologies into creative projects and applications.

Developers tip the scales in technology innovation and application implementation,

while cloud paves the way for them to develop and monetize applications.


As a flagship event in the ICT field, 2022 Cloud Application Innovation Challenge Southern Africa Region aims to promote a solid, open, and robust cloud ecosystem. The Competition, themed "Spark Infinity" this year, encourages developers to adopt leading technologies into creative projects and applications.

Participants can use these APIs as their app builders in this challenge.
