Cohort 2 Has Officially Launched! The MASA Innovation Programme Is Back Bigger, Bolder, and Impact-Driven

The 28th April 2026 marked the launch of the second cohort of the MASA Innovation Programme and the momentum is undeniable. This is more than just a programme, it’s a platform where bold student ideas are shaped into real-world solutions.

The launch session introduced participants to the MASA journey- covering the programme’s background, key objectives, expectations, and next steps. It also created space for meaningful first connections, as teams met their mentors and began building relationships, with mentors gaining early insight into the projects and the people behind them.

This exciting journey is powered by strong partnerships with the MIT Sandbox Innovation Fund, EXPLORER, the University of Botswana (UB), and the Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST) alongside the valued support of the Ministry of Trade and Entrepreneurship.

We’re excited for what lies ahead as this cohort begins its innovation journey.
