We are approaching the end of the year at La Plage Factory in style. Last week, we held our last meetup in a series of monthly community gatherings this year at Coworking Port Louis.
Meet up highlight
This month's meetup was special as we had the Mauritius Research and Innovation Council (MRIC) team join us. They met with founders, gathered feedback and insights on improving the National SME Incubator Scheme for startup founders, in preparation for the next generation of NSIS.
We were delighted to welcome Rwazi's founders, Joseph Rutakangwa and Eric Sewankambo, who attended the pitching session. They provided valuable feedback to our upcoming entrepreneurs and shared insights and strategies for effective elevator pitches.
