Hello!
We are now in the second quarter of the year! We started off the year on a busy note and we are determined to keep sailing through.
Here are our updates for this week.
We are now in week 2 of The SC Women in Tech incubation programme where 10 female-led-business are being guided on how they can use technology to grow their businesses. In the first week, the startups and the facilitators met virtually and got to plan for the 12 weeks of the incubation phase. This week, the startups will have one-on-one Accounting and Finance sessions with our startup coach, Peter Nawa. They will also have one-on-one sessions on Business Development, as well as Design Thinking sessions on how to generate better ideas.
Today at 5:30 PM CAT, we will host an information session for the BongoHive Consult Coding Academy. In this session, we will share more details about the programme and answer any questions that you may have about the programme. We will also take some time to listen to testimonials from some of the Dufuna graduates. Register here to attend. To apply for the programme, visit this website. Applications close this Friday, April 16th.
We are exploring the role of entrepreneurs, innovators and digital technologies in plastic waste management across Africa with DITCH Plastic. We need your opinions to enable us to make robust recommendations to stakeholders such as policymakers, funders and investors. By taking part, you will be helping us gain a deeper understanding of the sector. We will publish and promote the outputs of this research to stakeholders and we believe that you can help us shape the future intervention that will strengthen and grow the sector. Please help us by filling out and sharing this survey.
In Episode 5 of the BongoHive Podcast, we explore business partnerships, specifically in a B2B context and how to navigate identifying potential partners and securing beneficial strategic partnerships. The episode features 3 guests who, through their businesses and their roles, takes us through the journey of securing partnerships and strategic collaborations. The episode features interviews with Chabu Muchinshi (ACE Smart Zambia), Gilbert Mwale (eMsika) and Jessica Chisompola (Zanaco).
That is all from us this week. Have a great week, and stay safe. |
