The Mentor Matchup Challenge (MMC) has been a cornerstone in empowering African founders and closing crucial knowledge gaps for the past five years. The fifth edition, held last year and themed “Promoting Indigenous Industries,” marked a important milestone with the launch of the Indigenous Exhibition.
For the first time, MMC showcased a select group of SMEs and corporates, providing them a platform to connect, showcase, and thrive. The results were remarkable: SMEs achieved unprecedented sales, while corporates formed valuable new connections. Below are a few of the indigenous exhibitors at MMC 5.0:
The last edition featured engaging panel discussions, ranging from the Local Production panel to the International Trade panel, Energy panel, Tech panel, Trade & Retail panel, and Creative panel, ensuring a comprehensive exploration of the opportunities and challenges faced by various industries.
Since its inception, MMC has been more than just an event. Through interactive panel discussions, one-on-one mentorship sessions, and numerous networking opportunities, MMC has enabled businesses to expand their reach, refine their strategies, and grow their teams.
