The Digital Enterprise Africa’s (DEA) three-level model aims to empower individuals through training, provide platforms for innovation and research, and ultimately support the establishment of independent businesses under the DEA’s holding company.
The DEA will be sourcing various other entrepreneurship training programmes of varying lengths and philosophical approaches which would enable its trainees and innovators to commence businesses and operate them in a sustainable manner. The DEA envisions an impactful and comprehensive entrepreneurship development programme designed to foster the growth and success of aspiring entrepreneurs.
At the first level, the DEA’s Entrepreneurship Development programme places significant emphasis on training aspiring entrepreneurs. Through a diverse range of workshops, seminars, and mentorship programs, participants will gain essential skills and knowledge needed to navigate the dynamic business landscape. These training sessions cover various aspects of entrepreneurship, including business planning, marketing strategies, financial management, and effective leadership. The goal is to equip individuals with a strong foundation and practical insights to confidently pursue their entrepreneurial aspirations.
Moving to the second level, the DEA’s programme offers participants access to platforms that foster innovation and research. These platforms act as catalysts for creative thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving. Entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research projects, leverage technological advancements, and explore emerging trends in their respective industries. By providing a supportive ecosystem, the DEA aims to inspire entrepreneurial minds to develop ground-breaking ideas and solutions that address real-world challenges.
At the pinnacle of the DEA’s entrepreneurship development programme lies the establishment of independent businesses. Exceptional innovators who demonstrate outstanding potential and promising ventures will receive personalized support from the DEA to set up their own companies. The DEA’s holding company will serve as a nurturing environment, offering resources, mentorship, and access to a vast network of industry experts. By leveraging the DEA’s expertise and reputation, these entrepreneurs will be poised for success, enjoying a strong foundation and guidance as they navigate the complexities of starting and scaling their businesses.
