About the organization
MEST offers aspiring entrepreneurs a fully sponsored, intensive 12 month training program. Entrepreneurs-in-Training (EITs) are sourced from top graduates in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and Cote d'Ivoire. MEST was developed in Accra, Ghana in 2008, by Jorn Lyseggen, CEO of the Meltwater Group. He believes that talent is everywhere though opportunity is not, and that with the right support and guidance these aspiring entrepreneurs can achieve great things. This belief is the foundation of MEST, which sets out to prove that a new generation of successful global software youth entrepreneurs can originate in Africa.
