At MEST, we host a range of events designed to foster innovation and connect Africa’s tech ecosystem. Our flagship events, the MEST Africa Challenge and the MEST Africa Summit, bring together entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders to drive growth and collaboration. These high-impact events showcase the brightest startups and spark meaningful conversations that shape the future of African tech.
For over a decade, MEST has supported African tech startups with continent-wide ambitions. The MEST Africa Challenge aids in scaling these startups by providing a platform for pitching and up to $50k in equity investment. This edition spans Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and Senegal, focusing on early-stage companies, with the aim of amplifying the next generation of African tech innovators.
The MEST Africa Summit stands as the continent’s premier tech event, drawing together a dynamic mix of entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, media collaborators, incubators, and global investors from Africa, Europe, and Silicon Valley.
