About this project
Georg Wind from Emergination Africa e.V. is responsible for this project
Your financial support will enable secondary school pupils in Kenyan to participate at the National Business Case Competition (NBCC) 2023, an initiative by Emergination Africa. Students will pitch their business ventures in our very successful business plan mentoring and idea competition developed by Africans in the Diaspora developing future business leaders on an emerging continent!
Emergination Africa provides extremely relevant knowledge and opportunities to people in a rapidly developing economic environment whose education system and job market make it difficult to compete aggressive foreign investment for the benefits from economic growth and thus continuously and autonomously improve the local standard of living!
NBCC is the second out of three components of a one-year program in which teachers and students from urban and rural regions of Kenya are taught to develop business ideas and business plans with an understanding of the regional context, financial durability, and consideration of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). During NBCC, they are guided by experienced industry professionals over a period of 6 months before presenting their idea to investors in the nationwide final competition to secure funding and participation in an Innovation Accelerator.
The first part of our program is the Educator Venture Development Training (EVDT). During EVDT, based on the "train-the-teacher" principle, EA trains teachers in modern teaching methods and contemporary, context-sensitive knowledge on practical realization of sustainable entrepreneurship in workshops over several days. It was developed by Zimbabwean educators in collaboration with business-experienced Diaspora Zimbabweans and Kenyans and has been run for several years in Zimbabwe and for the first time in 2022 in Kenya with out-standing success!
Participating teachers regularly describe that EVDT was the first meaningful professional training they attended since oftentimes several decades. The teams that develop and pitch business ideas within the framework of the NBCC are formed in the classes taught by the teachers we trained.
The best teams in the competition, held first at the regional level and then at the national level, eventually qualify to participate in the third part of our program, the Virtual Innovation Accelerator (VIA). In VIA, the teams receive seed money and close mentoring from Emergination Africa and contacts with industry experts to help them operationalize their businesses.
