Description

On Thursday, 8 February, MEST, in partnership with TLA Africa, will host our second TNF event at Shack15 in London. Come join us to learn why we think 2018 is poised to be the year of the African scaleup.

2017 proved to be an explosive year for African tech companies, with growth in the number of investments, partnerships and incubators. MEST expanded its footprint, launching incubators in Lagos and Cape Town.

This event will discuss some of the big changes that took place in the ecosystem in 2017 and explore what trends we might see across the continent as in 2018.

We will kick off with a panel, followed by networking and drinks.

The expert panel, includes:

Moderator: Paris Petgrave, Founder, RareSeed Capital.

    Tomi Davies, Co-founder and President, Africa Business Angel Network
    Nicole Anderson, Managing Partner, Redsand Partners
