The Mentor Matchup Challenge @mentormatchup (MMC 7.0), themed “Building bridges for equitable trade,” will bring together over 1000 of Africa’s leading founders, investors, policymakers, and industry leaders on Thursday, 4 December 2025, and Friday, 5 December 2025, at the Lagos Oriental Hotel. The event provides a platform for advancing entrepreneurship, equitable trade, and cross-border business collaboration across the continent.

Ezinne Nwazulu, Convener of MMC 7.0 and Managing Partner at @234Finance, calls for strengthening Africa’s business environment to support cross-border trade. She encourages African entrepreneurs to drive value creation across borders, particularly within the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

Temitayo Ogunnoiki, Business Developer at 234Finance, highlights @mentormatchup’s role in mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs, unlocking funding access, strengthening supply chains, and driving equitable trade.
