ScaleUp Africa Ecosystem Conversations - Noreen Makosewe - UWAT - Unlocking Women And Technology
In this series, business leaders and innovators from the Black and African Diaspora talk about the future of doing business in Africa and across the Diaspora community.
In this episode, strategic entrepreneurship advisor Noreen Makosewe talks to Amma Gyampo, Co-Founder ScaleUp Africa about her work developing entrepreneurial ecosystems across Africa.
Africa requires a more localised approach to ecosystem building in order to see more effective programmatic results.
Government policy is key to making sure that entrepreneurship thrives but despite the resources being pushed towards this 'empowerment' space across Africa, the challenge remains the success rate of these programs and performance of the SMEs that go through them, remain wanting. There is a need for data, information and simple conversations that translate to support at the grassroots.
