In addition to presentations from business experts, there will be a panel made up of ordinary Tanzanian entrepreneurs who have started and run successful businesses … a young man who grew up in the rural area and whose only opportunity was farming, a single mom who wanted to spend more time with her infant son and started a business in her bedroom, a brilliant young techie who has developed a mobile application promoted by the 2 largest telcos in the country, a young woman with a vision to have ice cream and gelato shoppes all over Dar es Salaam, a group of young men with an idea for turning waste into high quality organic fertilizer, and more; all with inspiring stories.
Youth unemployment has been called a “ticking time bomb” in Africa as millions of young people every year enter a stagnant job market with few opportunities. Entrepreneurship offers young people a method of generating income and wealth, and this kind of practical training highlighted by real examples is greatly needed.
