Due to COVID-19, MEST postpones training program to next year and doubles down on growing portfolio companies

MEST Management, Friday, July 24th 2020

Hi Everyone,

At MEST, we continue to be deeply concerned about COVID-19 and have been closely monitoring developments locally and globally. Our number one priority remains the health and safety of our community. We will continue to follow the local authority and health official guidelines.

Due to the ongoing nature of the pandemic and the uncertainty that the future of travel holds, we have been unable to conduct in-person interviews and host recruitment around Africa for our next cohort. For this reason, we have taken the decision to postpone the Training Program to next year.

While these circumstances are indeed unfortunate, we see this as an exciting opportunity at MEST to double down on providing support and mentorship to our existing portfolio companies and the African ecosystem.
 

Thanks,
MEST Management
