Entreprendre au Sénégal is a digital platform dedicated to facilitating the reception and orientation of entrepreneurs and investors from the diaspora in Senegal who wish to invest in their country of origin.
Entreprendre au Sénégal provides users with useful and relevant information on entrepreneurship in Senegal, including testimonies from repatriates recently settled in the country. This digital orientation is mainly dedicated to the formalisation of entrepreneurial activity, the search for financing and partners, and the segmentation and highlighting of the various types of technical support offered by the Senegalese entrepreneurial ecosystem stakeholders.
Entreprendre au Sénégal was created and launched within the framework of the DiafrikInvest project, an initiative of the European Union aiming to accelerate and support the mobilisation of high-level talent, entrepreneurs and investors from the diaspora to boost business relations between Europe, Morocco, Tunisia and Senegal and thus contribute to the economic development of the various territories.
Following the closure of the DiafrikInvest project at the end of 2020, CJD Senegal, the Senegalese implementing partner, has continued to feed and update this platform, which continues to inform and guide diaspora entrepreneurs, but also other users interested in the opportunities available in the country.
The application is made in 3 steps:
1. the entrepreneur / project leader fills in an application form on the website.
2. The information is sent by e-mail to the support structures.
3. The structures contact the entrepreneur to collaborate and set up a support programme.
