The Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology (MEST) is expanding its recruitment net to South Africa.

MEST already accepts candidates from  Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, and Cote D'Ivoire into its fully sponsored, year-long program.

Entrepreneurs who sign up for the program will have access to new and diverse cultures, seed funding ranging from $50,000 - $100,000 (courtesy of the MEST Foundation), and skills to help them become globally competitive.

Right now, the MEST program itself still holds only Ghana, but the incubator is looking to open an incubator in Johannesburg or Capetown for  South African entrepreneurs who have graduated from MEST.
