Wimbart Office Hours – Shortlist Announced

We’re pleased to announce the final shortlist for the first edition of the Wimbart Office Hours Programme. We received a high volume of strong applications and continue to be inspired by the number of innovative ideas being developed across Africa. In fact, we were so impressed that we added two additional places to the inaugural cohort. The successful applicants cover a range of sectors from health, to agriculture and finance, and we’re looking forward to equipping them with the PR skills they will need to support their businesses.

We want many more start-ups to benefit from taking part in our Wimbart Office Hours, and so we expect to host a second Programme later on in 2020. Be sure to keep an eye out for when we make our next announcement.
