The MEST Scale Venture Accelerator, in collaboration with the Mastercard Foundation, has opened a call for applications for its acceleration programme for technology-focused startups in Ghana. MEST Scale hopes to teach ambitious entrepreneurs with high-growth innovative enterprises through this programme, which begins in January 2023.
Startups must have at least three years of significant revenue development and a minimum annual revenue of $150,000 to be eligible for the programme. Companies with female founders or employees are especially encouraged to apply.
