BIC Africa is excited to announce the upcoming webinar of the Diaspora Entrepreneurship Webinar Series: Dialogue with African Diaspora Entrepreneurs in the Fashion. Scheduled for December 17, 2024, from 2:00 pm to 3:15 pm EAT, this webinar aims to highlight the journeys, challenges, and successes of entrepreneurs within the fashion sector.
The session will include presentations and a Q&A session, offering participants an opportunity to gain insights and practical guidance from experienced entrepreneurs. This initiative is designed to build a strong entrepreneurial foundation, access resources, and overcome obstacles, thereby fostering a robust innovation ecosystem in African countries and networking with African Diasporas from Europe and the United States.
The webinar series will help ‘budding’ African entrepreneurs to take their start-ups to the next level, benefit from support of mentors, and learn about success stories from diaspora communities.
The webinar series, created for budding African entrepreneurs from BIC Africa’s target countries—Angola, Comoros, Ethiopia, Madagascar, and Somalia—is open to participants across Sub-Saharan Africa. This series of six webinars aims to empower entrepreneurs by sharing success stories, learn about mentorship, and gain practical advice from diaspora communities.
The webinar will shed light on personal experiences and also provide practical guidance on building a strong entrepreneurial foundation, accessing resources and overcoming obstacles.
