Following the graduation of the first cohort of South African Entrepreneurs-in-Training (EITs) in August 2017 and the launch of our Cape Town incubator, applications for the MEST training program are officially open in South Africa, now through the end of February.
Successful applicants will spend a year at MEST HQ in Accra, taking part in an intensive entrepreneurial training program centred around business, communications, and software development.

In the past few months, the team has won a World Summit Award, received recognition from the Ghanaian government, and more.
