Today marks the official start of Global Entrepreneurship Week, a time when 160 countries around the world celebrate entrepreneurs and their innovative spirit. Global Entrepreneurship Week is the largest gathering of innovators and entrepreneurs who launch startups that bring ideas to life, drive economic growth and stimulate socio-economic development. The week is dedicated to inspire millions of people across the world through local, national and global activities designed to help them unleash their potential as entrepreneurs and innovators. In Africa, the AU through its blueprint for socio-economic development, Agenda 2063: the Africa We Want, encompasses the ideals of entrepreneurship and innovation through its developmental aspirations aimed at building a sustainable entrepreneurship ecosystem on the continent. Lionesses of Africa is celebrating Global Entrepreneurship Week with the launch of the first Lioness Lean In Breakfast Event in Maputo, Mozambique on 17th November, powered by Standard Bank. It promises to be a great week ahead.
