Introducing Axiom
Axiom backs Nigerian students thinking about what comes next.

Fellows will receive:
- Up to N15m in funding for project development
- Technical support to scope, design, and build systems
- Deployment support to get real-world usage
- Mentorship from operators, researchers, and builders
Agriculture
We're interested in systems that improve agricultural yield, scale food production, improve nutrition, or reduce costs.
Explore the trackHealth
We're looking for projects that organise care or improve health outcomes for large groups — from tech that brings quality care closer to communities, to platforms that coordinate health resources at scale.
Explore the trackEducation
We're interested in projects that expand access to knowledge and learning, or help preserve and share our languages and cultural heritage, broadening reach and inclusion across Nigeria.
Explore the trackOver the next 25 years, Nigeria's population will grow by more than half. The demands on food, health and learning infrastructure will require a generation of people who grew up in the systems they're trying to fix.
Axiom exists to find those people and give them what they need.
