Empowering African Startups: NTEEP Launches Entrepreneurship Skills Programme

NOMFRO Technologies Entrepreneurship Empowerment Project (NTEEP) is in the process of preparing to furnish African startups with the necessary skills required to thrive in the business world. The current undertaking, NTEEP 4.0, is designed to provide participants with the tools to improve their lives, discover new opportunities, and make a meaningful contribution to the economy of the continent.

According to Adams John Smart, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Program Director of NTEEP, the project, titled ‘Empowering African Startups for Global Impact’, has the potential to cultivate the next generation of successful entrepreneurs. The NTEEP team is of the belief that the future of billion-dollar businesses may well originate from Africa, and one of these startups could be a participant in the program.

Since its establishment in 2020, NTEEP has been instrumental in empowering entrepreneurs throughout the African continent. By supplying essential business training, marketing tools, and a supportive community, the program has effectively nurtured over 600 startups, directing them towards success in the constantly evolving digital landscape.

Participants of NTEEP 4.0 will be able to take advantage of a month-long intensive training program led by industry experts. This comprehensive training will encompass crucial aspects of entrepreneurship while guiding startups through the intricacies of business development, strategy, and management. Acknowledging the importance of digital marketing in today’s business world, NTEEP places a strong emphasis on this area, offering participants training from experts in the field to effectively utilize digital platforms for business growth.

Alongside essential skills training, NTEEP will provide startups with access to state-of-the-art technological tools, ensuring they have the resources necessary to thrive in the digital age. Participants will also receive a sponsored business website to bolster their online presence, as well as long-term mentoring support.

In order to qualify for funding, participants must be located in Africa, and their startup must be in the idea stage or early stage, with the potential for future growth. Moreover, an African residing abroad, or an international startup focusing on African women, youth, or children, is also eligible to apply for the program. The application process is free and can be completed via the NTEEP website.

This initiative not only underscores the commitment to the growth and sustainability of African startups but also demonstrates the potential for African entrepreneurs to make a significant impact on a global scale. As NTEEP continues to provide opportunities for startups to flourish, it plays a crucial role in driving the entrepreneurial spirit across the continent.
