Project director, Laura Kava, highlights the importance of the event as a catalyst for the national economy. “Mil Business Projects allows businesspeople to share their experiences with young entrepreneurs, promoting a modern entrepreneurial mindset. Through the Startup Challenge, these businesses gain visibility and access to partnerships, strengthening the Angolan economic ecosystem beyond the oil sector”, he states, in a statement sent to VerAngola.
With a dynamic inspired by international events, the "Startup Challenge 2024" aims to create a networking and business exhibition platform, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors and businesspeople to exchange ideas and form strategic partnerships.
The presence of 24 guest speakers expands opportunities for dialogue about innovation and sustainability in sectors with the greatest potential for Angola's economic development.
The impact of the "Mil Projectos de Negócios" and the "Startup Challenge" initiatives has been significant, consolidating themselves as fundamental pillars of entrepreneurship in Angola, adds the organization. With support for strategic sectors such as agribusiness, aquaculture, tourism, engineering and technology, these platforms have contributed to the country's diversification and economic growth, boosting the creation of businesses and opportunities.
