FUNDRAISING 4 AFRICA STARTUPS

The Afropreneurs International Network is an initiative that aims to support the development and growth of startups and African companies that produce or distribute products, services or brands made in Africa.

This Network offers its members a platform of mutual aid between African entrepreneurs. It is also a place of exchange and sharing of opportunities, B2B networking, training, financing, visibility, sales and promotion of companies and African Startups. He was initiated by Billy Issa from Kinshasa and Arsène Boukoulou from Brazzaville.

The promotion of made in Africa, a priority of this network

According to the initiator of this platform, « Africa is a sleeping giant, the day it wakes up, the world will tremble. This visionary believes that the time has come for the world to be shaken because of the awakening of the African giant and that goes through Afropreneuriat.

Hence, the need to push Africa to produce what it consumes, but also what the world will consume tomorrow.

Indeed, according to studies by INED, Africa has more than 1.2 billion inhabitants (2017) and this figure will double by 2050. Such a market must above all benefit the Afropreneurs, think Billy Issa.

In this perspective, this Afropreneurs International Network connects entrepreneurs from here and the diaspora who have the ambition to produce what Africa and the world of tomorrow will consume.

He has set up a fundraising program called FUNDRAISING 4 AFRICA STARTUPS for the development and expansion of Startups and African companies members of the network.

This network is also considering a virtual marketplace called MADE IN AFRICA which will be the Amazon or the African Alibaba where African brands can be sold.

DRC: USD 100 million for the construction of the major cultural centre for Central Africa

Prime Minister Ilunkamba has just authorized, on Monday, October 14, 2019, the Minister of Urban Planning and Housing Then Mwabilu and the Minister of State for International Cooperation Guillaume Manjolo to sign two orders.

This, after his visit to the site where the great Cultural and Artistic Centre of Central Africa will be built as well as the INA Buildings, the National Institute of Arts, where he ordered the resumption of work.

The first decree concerns the postponement of the decree of 14 October 2016 and the second concerns the decommissioning of a portion of land in favour of Sino-Congolese cooperation.

The Chinese company BEIJING URBAN CONSTRUCTION GROUP is in charge of building this large Centre for 30 months. The cost of the work is estimated at US$100 million.

After this visit to the field, the head of the Ilunga Ilunkamba Government himself presided over the signing ceremony of these two ministerial decrees for the implementation of the Chinese government’s donation to the DRC.

 

There was talk of ending the superposition of orders first by repealing the one that granted the same concession to Richesse Taylor.

It should be noted that the cultural and artistic centre, one of the largest in Central Africa, will constitute, according to the Minister of State for Cooperation Guillaume Mandjolo, an innovative source for the public treasury and restore the DRC’s position as a leader in the world of African culture.

This large Centre will be located between the triumphal boulevard and Assossa avenues, a few metres from the People’s Palace.

The construction of this important cultural building includes the large 2,000-seat theatre, the small 800-seat theatre, meeting rooms, the gymnasium and a car park.
