MEST Africa

MEST Africa provides training, investment, and mentoring to aspiring high-technology entrepreneurs, with the goal of building globally successful companies that create wealth and jobs in Africa. Established in Ghana in 2008, MEST selects dozens of top graduates from across Africa every year to participate in a fully sponsored one-year, full-time, intensive educational program. Entrepreneurs-In-Training (EITs) receive comprehensive training across the spectrum of skills required to build successful tech businesses, including computer programming, software development, product management, finance, marketing, sales and leadership best practices. After completion of the program, EITs have the opportunity to pitch a concept, and winning teams receive seed funding to pursue their idea along with ongoing, hands-on support from our Incubator.
