Entrepreneur Academy to Host Exhibition of African Female Entrepreneurs

Rabat – The Entrepreneur Academy (EA), a training and mentoring entrepreneurship program at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) is set to hold the “Exhibition of Young African Female Entrepreneur” on March 4, at UM6P in Benguerir.

The exhibition comes as a celebration of the UN International Women’s Day. The event celebrates women entrepreneurs who have forged their way to participate in the revitalization of the Moroccan economic and social fabric.

The exhibition will be held in collaboration with Affair’DC, a network of Congolese professionals from all over the world, who unite their multi-sectoral expertise to stimulate business opportunities between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the world.

In a press release, EA is inviting women, students, young professionals, entrepreneurs and “intrapreneurs” from Morocco and across Africa to join in action to promote female entrepreneurship and empower them to launch their projects.

Majda Bouzaroita, community builder at EA and project coordinator of the upcoming exhibition, told Morocco World News that EA’s main objective is to cultivate the entrepreneurial mindset and provide the right skills and tools to African entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs, especially African women.

“The exhibition is an opportunity to exchange views on female entrepreneurship in Africa, its challenges and its assets, while also highlighting Morocco’s support to local aspiring entrepreneurs and those of the African diaspora,” said Konan Kouassi, development and program manager at EA and project coordinator of the exhibition.

During the one-day program, EA and Affair’DC will organize a series of activities, workshops, and panels that will be hosted by several speakers, including Aalya Ghouli, CEO of two BNP PARIBAS subsidiaries within BMCI Group since 2021.

The exhibition will also be livestreamed on EA’s platforms.

Created in 2019 at the UM6P, the Entrepreneur Academy’s staff of national and international expert trainers and mentors offer a personalized program for Moroccan students, professors, executives, and all aspiring African entrepreneurs to develop their practical skills and provide them with fundamental tools to succeed in the field of entrepreneurship.
