Assif Osman, a businessman in Cabo Delgado, speaking on “Solutions for Entrepreneurship in the Context of Cabo Delgado,” stressed the need for young entrepreneurs to be guided by persistence in order to overcome all challenges.
Osman argues that entrepreneurs must invest in training, “education about entrepreneurship should start in childhood, from parents, and then be perfected through self-education in everyday life”.
In fact, he believes that education about entrepreneurship must be an integral part of the subjects taught in educational institutions in the country.
The following topics were addressed at the Regional Entrepreneurship Conference: Business Opportunities in Cabo Delgado, Innovation and Young Entrepreneurship, the Digital Revolution in Sustainable Agriculture and Promotion for the Development of the Northern Region, and Financing Opportunities.
