🌟 Un rendez-vous inspirant pour l’entrepreneuriat et l’innovation ! Lors de l’accompagnement cohorte 2 MVP Lab 221 Lab, les équipes de Safetrack et de la coopérative NDEMA Agri se sont rencontrées, et le réseautage entre entrepreneurs s’est révélé être un bénéfice considérable. Dans le cadre du Challenge Fund for Youth Employment,accompagné de Ibrahima DIATTA et Cheikhou Fall NDIAYE nous avons validé 4 fermes pilotes à Vélingara et identifié 150 jeunes bénéficiaires (moins de 35 ans, avec une répartition équilibrée de 50 % hommes / 50 % femmes). Le tout sous une température de 38°C, en plein Ramadan et Carême, témoignage de notre engagement et de notre détermination. Nous remercions chaleureusement Startupbootcamp AfriTech pour leur confiance dans l'exécution de ce pilote, ainsi que Mamadou DIAO, fondateur de Ndema, pour son chaleureux accueil. La prochaine étape : le déploiement du pilote en avril. Safetrack la technologie qui fait germer l'avenir de vos petites fermes !

What an exciting time as we just wrapped up pitch practice Session 2 with our founders! Joss Nyaguse worked behind the scenes, reviewing pitches from our HealthTech innovators, and the energy was incredible! One of the key takeaways from this session was the importance of clearly defining the value proposition. Innovators who can articulate how their solution directly benefits users and addresses real pain points are positioning themselves for greater success with investors. These innovators are fine-tuning their pitches, gearing up to make a real difference in healthcare. We’re excited to see how they continue to shape the future of this space! #HealthTech #PitchPerfect #InnovationInHealthcare #sbcafritech #timbuktoo
