About Us

The Mentor Matchup Challenge is designed to bridge the practical knowledge gaps amongst African founders. The Mentor Matchup Challenge 6.0 is a highly anticipated annual event that brings together active players who promote indigenous industries, capacity building, and local production in diverse sectors of the economy.

Our previous events combined, have featured 18 panel discussions, 24 intimate mentorship sessions, and indigenous exhibitions. We have witnessed businesses scale up their operations, improve their processes, and increase their workforce after participating in our event.

MMC 6.0 is carefully curated to feature Panel Discussions, Keynote Speeches, Intimate Mentorship Sessions, Networking Opportunities, Light Entertainment, and the Indigenous Exhibition. The panel discussions are interactive; bringing together thought-leaders to discuss topics that cut across Intra-African trade, industrialization, favourable policy-making and lots more. The one-on-one mentoring session gives delegates the opportunity to discuss niggling business challenges with the mentors in attendance.

The aim of the event is to give attendees insights on practical business strategies required to scale up their operations, give visibility to indigenous brands through the exhibition and ultimately help participants achieve personal/organizational objectives.
