THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM

Our Mission

The World Economic Forum (WEF), committed to

improving the state of the world, is the International

Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.

Established in 1971, as a not-for-profit foundation

headquartered in Geneva (Switzerland), It is independent,

impartial and not tied to any special interests.

The Forum engages the foremost political, business and

other leaders of society to shape global, regional and

industry agendas.

The Forum strives in all its efforts to demonstrate

entrepreneurship in the global public interest, while

upholding the highest standards of governance.

Moral and intellectual integrity is at the heart of everything

it does. Its activities are shaped by a unique institutional

culture founded on the stakeholder theory, which asserts

that an organization is accountable to all parts of society.

The WEF believe that progress happens by bringing

together people from all walks of life, who have the drive

and the influence to make positive change.

The Global Shapers Community (GSC) it’s a community of outstanding young people

committed to improve the state of the world. It enables youth to be a voice for the future

in local, regional and global thought processes and a catalyst of entrepreneurship in the

global public interest.

HOW DO WE OPERATE:

• Shapers are engaged in projects related

to specific challenges identified by the

local Hub and by the Global Shapers

team headquartered in Geneva.

• The Community is vitalized by virtual

interactions and physical meetings

among Hubs and between Shapers and

Forum’s members and constituents.

• The Community creates value by

providing Shapers with the knowledge

and insights that engender a better

understanding of the global, regional

and industry agendas.

A PONTE and “ROAD TO NAIROBI 2016”

A PONTE is the Mozambican Initiative organised in partnership with the Building Bridges

Foundation as part of the Regional Project “Road to Nairobi 2016”.

This initiative aimed at identifying 10 talented young

entrepreneurs in each East African Country to provide

them with access to market opportunities, access to

Funding opportunities and access to a network of

Mentors.

In addition, the entrepreneurs will have their enterprise

story covered in a book called “Young African

Entrepreneurs”. The book will be published in early

2017 and has as main aim to identify new market

opportunities for entrepreneurs highlighted in the book.

The selected entrepreneurs will stand a chance to be selected as one of the four entrepreneurs to pitch

their ideas to 750 people during the High Level Meeting of the Global Partnership for Effective

Development Cooperation in Nairobi.

The Building Bridges Foundation is a not-for-profit organization established in the Netherlands to foster

youth-led solutions from the grassroots in order to contribute towards the effective implementation

of the Sustainable Development Goals.

A PONTE CONFERENCE - ENTREPRENEURS

“The domino effect has a key role in entrepreneurial success. It is

important to start somewhere to succeed.”

Mulweli Rebelo, Founder and Managing Director of Ologa

“We should understand the pyramid of needs through the equation:

(An)alphabetism = (Mal)nutrition”

Rui Santos, Social Activist and Founder of Plataforma Makobo

“Succeeding entrepreneurs are resilient, overcoming adversities and

keeping strong during difficulties and failures.“

Sazia de Sousa, Founder and Managing Director of Technoplus

“Going out of the comfort zone is the first stepping stone to pursue the

entrepreneurial dream. Start lean, fail fast and pilot your products. Your

customer’s opinion might be the most important information you need.“

Frederico Silva, Co-Founder and Director, UX

A PONTE CONFERENCE – PANEL DISCUSSION

Our financial system has not yet been adapted to the needs of PMEs

and entrepreneurs, and it is often an additional cause to social exclusion.

We should therefore work not only to improve the offer, but also to

increase the quality of the demand.

Our education system does not address the attitude and skills needed to

develop entrepreneurial behaviors. Mozambican youth are scarcely

capable to influence policies and lack a real platform to express their

needs and their voice.

International companies understand the need to involve SMEs along their

value chain, committing time and resources to develop their capacity.

Different sectors could do that in different scale and with a broad range of

approaches. Food and Beverage industry is certainly different than

industrial projects.

Companies involved with industrial projects are trying to build a

database of companies/SMEs to work with. Nevertheless, there is a big

gap between the offer of SMEs and the quality of service provided. In

sectors like Energy, Oil & Gas we could re-think of some of our tender

requirements, but we cannot compromise on quality and safety.

The Mozambican Ecosystem for SMEs and Entrepreneurs:

How SMEs can tap into the needs of big corporations and

integrate their value chain?

OTHER EVENTS: Gapi: After meeting the selected entrepreneurs during a private event hosted at CoWorkLab

Maputo on September 9th, Gapi requested a profile of each SME to organise a meeting to

evaluate opportunities through which the institution could partner or offer support.

Cloud Digital Arts offers a free training session on “Digital Marketing strategies and Branding” to the Top10

selected entrepreneurs to increase their online positioning. The company will then present their product

offering customized to the needs of local SMEs, which will be promoted on our network of young

entrepreneurs.

The Business Angels Association of Mozambique will host a pitching session of the young entrepreneurs

on the 26th October 2016. The event aims at exposing the selected companies to a panel of potential

investors as well as to potential partners and mentors.

During the event, Dr Souto, General Director of Gapi explained the reasons to partner with the Global

Shapers Community in Maputo to strengthen a platform to support youth entrepreneurship.

Mcel: Mcel mKesh launched a business case competition which was open to all entrepreneurs in our

network. The enterprises will have one month to submit a viable proposal to develop the product required by

the company. The successful one will be awarded the contract to develop and implement the solution.

Our top10 entrepreneurs will receive a capped amount of mKesh credit on their Mcel number and discounts

on their company contracts for the next 1 year.

The Global Shapers Community in partnership with ISCTEM will curate a local event for students with an

interest towards entrepreneurship during the Global Entrepreneurship Week in November 2016.
