DigiPreneur

About the DigiPreneur programme

DigiPreneur project aims to boost the capacity in field of Digital entrepreneurship among African and European countries. In Africa we target Nigeria, South Africa and
Kenya. Nigeria is the biggest African economy, while South Africa is on the 3rd place and Kenya on 6th position. These 3 countries were represented among 4 most progressive in this field. Reason for these 3 countries specifically is the technical/digital infrastructure and the potential to implement the project results and turn them into real business. And as the European partners were chosen Spain, Latvia, Greece and Portugal.
