Meet the entrepreneurs in the 100% Creative coaching program!
Following project selection and entrepreneur pitches, the selection committee chose the projects in the first cohort to benefit from the support program financed by the European Union and implemented by Enabel.
The aim of the program is to support one hundred project leaders and cultural entrepreneurs on the Conakry-Kindia-Mamou axis in the fashion, design, audiovisual and digital sectors. The jury selected a total of 57 projects, including 21 in acceleration and 36 in incubation. They will be supported in this first stage of the program until June.
This first selection is very well-balanced, and shows great diversity in the Guinean creative industries. It includes 21 projects led by women (37%). It is also well distributed geographically, with 40 projects from Conakry, 8 from Kindia and 9 from Mamou. Finally, all the themes of the call for projects are well represented, with 22 fashion projects, 20 audiovisual projects, 12 design projects, and 3 digital projects.
