BIC Africa Participated in the <strong>Unlocking ESO Self-Sustainability Webinar</strong>BIC Africa Participated in the

On Thursday, 29th August 2024, BIC Africa participated in a webinar titled “Unlocking ESO Self-Sustainability” organised by Startup Savanna. The event focused on aligning deal flow strategies with the path to self-sustainability for Entrepreneurship Support Organisations (ESOs) targeting the Kenya ecosystem. The webinar featured a short presentation of BIC Africa project by Krisztina Dax, followed by insights from leading European experts in the field. 

The webinar included presentations by Pietro De Martino, Vice President of the European Business & Innovation Centre Network (EBN) and Incubation Manager at FILSE Spa from Italy, and Philipp Roden, Director of Lipo.ink from Check Republic. Both are EU|BIC certified and renowned incubators and innovation centres in their respective countries and regions. 

Pietro De Martino and Philipp Roden shared their experiences on how ESOs can strategically plan for self-sustainability. Their insights provided participants with actionable strategies to ensure their ESOs not only survive but thrive in today’s dynamic environment, enabling them to support their client entrepreneurs and startups effectively. Moreover, they answered the critical questions from the participants.  

BIC Africa’s support in facilitating connection with European ESOs and participation in the webinar underscored our commitment in facilitating the exchange of best practices and innovative strategies between African and European ecosystems. By sharing the European ESOs’ experiences, BIC Africa aims to enhance its support for ESOs in Africa through its regional network, specifically targeting ESOs, entrepreneurs, and innovative startups to drive sustainable development. 

We extend our sincere thanks to Pietro De Martino and Philipp Roden for joining us and sharing their insights including the GrowthAfrica for organising the webinar.
