The McDan group of companies has continued in its relentless pursuit of growing business innovation among young entrepreneurs across the country.

Already in its 6th year, the innovative McDan entrepreneur challenge has led to the provision of significant seed funding for many startups and enabled the spawning of many others.

This year’s northern qualification event which was held in the Upper West regional capital Wa, saw the participation of senior high school students and university students from across the northern regions and was very keenly contested.
