Dell, in partnership with Intel\u00ae, hosted the 7th Annual Dell Women\u2019s Entrepreneur Network Summit (DWEN) of leading women entrepreneurs in Cape Town, South Africa June 27-28, 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce sommet intime a r\u00e9uni 200 participants tri\u00e9s sur le volet provenant de 12 pays pour explorer comment les femmes peuvent d\u00e9velopper et faire \u00e9voluer leurs entreprises de mani\u00e8re tangible. Au cours des deux jours, la conversation s'est concentr\u00e9e sur la fa\u00e7on dont les femmes \u00ab innovent pour un monde pr\u00eat pour l'avenir \u00bb, avec des sessions sur la construction d'une marque ayant un but, les tendances technologiques \u00e9mergentes et bien plus encore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour moi personnellement, c'\u00e9tait merveilleux de revenir au Sommet du Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network, apr\u00e8s avoir particip\u00e9 au sommet \u00e0 Austin, au Texas, en mai 2014, un mois seulement apr\u00e8s avoir commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 travailler avec la Fondation Tony Elumelu en tant que directrice de l'entrepreneuriat\u00a0! Ensuite, j'avais partag\u00e9 avec eux la vision de Tony Elumelu visant \u00e0 autonomiser 10 000 entrepreneurs africains au cours de la prochaine d\u00e9cennie avec un engagement de $100 millions. Nous n'avions pas encore concr\u00e9tis\u00e9 sa vision, mais nous parlions d\u00e9j\u00e0 de la cr\u00e9ation d'un programme d'entrepreneuriat africain qui identifierait les id\u00e9es de startups et les entrepreneurs en d\u00e9marrage ayant le potentiel de r\u00e9ussir dans les 54 pays africains ; d\u00e9velopper les entreprises gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la formation, au mentorat, aux r\u00e9seaux et au financement. \u00c0 l'instar des fondateurs de DWEN, Tony Elumelu, \u00e0 travers sa philosophie \u00e9conomique de l'Africapitalisme, estime que le secteur priv\u00e9 et ses jeunes entrepreneurs seront le moteur de la croissance \u00e9conomique de l'Afrique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C'\u00e9tait aussi une joie de retourner dans cette ville magnifique et dynamique que j'associe \u00e0 ma pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente carri\u00e8re de producteur de cin\u00e9ma et de t\u00e9l\u00e9vision. Au fil des ann\u00e9es, je me suis familiaris\u00e9 avec une ville pleine de cin\u00e9astes cr\u00e9atifs, de techniciens, de designers, de monteurs et un endroit o\u00f9 faire des affaires pour l'industrie. Ma soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Carlton Television a vendu bon nombre de ses programmes aux distributeurs qui achetaient pour l'Afrique du Sud et le march\u00e9 africain au sens large au Cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time I was representing Tony Elumelu and the Tony Elumelu Foundation on the Closing General Session, to talk about the work of the Foundation and its direct impact on achieving Goal 8.  In the \u201cMy World 2015 Survey\u201d in almost every country in Africa, the population under 35 voted for job creation above all other UN Sustainable Development Goals. This mirrors exactly what a survey of the 65,000 Tony Elumelu entrepreneurs had told us.  Africa has one of the largest and youngest workforces in the world with the biggest purchasing power. Aaron Sherinian, Chief communications and Marketing Officer, United Nations Foundation, lead a compelling session on how we can act on Goal 8 to create the 600 million jobs needed to employee the eligible workforce over the next decade and the role entrepreneurs will play to achieve all 17 UN Goals. Aaron kicked us off with a TED-like flash talk on the cross section of the UN Goals and entrepreneurship. He then invited the panel which included: Jennifer Allison,<\/strong> Directeur, Diversit\u00e9 des fournisseurs Dell, Videsha Proothveerajh <\/strong>Directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, Intel Corporation Afrique australe et Kirsten Dickerson<\/strong>, fondateur et PDG, Raven + Lily.<\/p>\n\n\n

Le panel et le public compos\u00e9 de 200 femmes chefs d'entreprise ont visionn\u00e9 la bande-annonce de deux minutes du documentaire TEEP, Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurs Transforming Africa. Pour beaucoup, c'\u00e9tait la premi\u00e8re fois qu'ils entendaient parler du programme phare de la Fondation, $100 millions, du Programme d'entrepreneuriat Tony Elumelu (TEEP), ou des principes directeurs de l'Africapitalism et de la chance d\u00e9mocratisante et de son engagement en faveur de l'entrepreneuriat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Foundation is taking a long term sustainable and holistic approach to developing African entrepreneurs through training, mentoring, funding and networking. Technology is a critical driver\u200e and enabler for the programme and the Alumni. Our purpose is to create jobs and generate wealth very much aligned to SDG 8.  We are supporting our Alumni over the decade with access to markets, information, networks, funding and follow on mentoring. TEF is tracking the performance of the businesses in which TEF is investing. Our measure of success is the success of the entrepreneurs. We are leveraging our convening power to broker introductions of the entrepreneurs to their governments, policy makers to help create an enabling environment. Our research reports provide evidence based policy which the entrepreneurs can use to advocate for change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 la question \u00ab\u00a0ce qui doit changer\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0: le r\u00e9cit africain\u00a0; construction de cha\u00eenes d'approvisionnement; des investissements et non de l'aide du monde ext\u00e9rieur en Afrique : un environnement favorable aux startups africaines pour qu'elles aient la chance de r\u00e9ussir ; et l'\u00e9tat d'esprit des investisseurs pour comprendre les entrepreneurs et d\u00e9velopper des mod\u00e8les d'investissement adapt\u00e9s \u00e0 leur soutien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Fondation s'est f\u00e9licit\u00e9e de l'opportunit\u00e9 de contribuer \u00e0 la discussion et de la mani\u00e8re dont nous avons un impact direct sur la r\u00e9alisation de l'objectif 8.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
