Young entrepreneur´s Challenge

About this contest

One of the essential dimensions of Marimba will be to encourage entrepreneurship in the area of music, which will be promoted through competitions for ideas for new businesses, with particular emphasis on valuing digital tools for creating, distributing and enjoying musical content. These competitions are specifically aimed at women entrepreneurs, resulting in the creation of jobs and the generation of their own sources of income, both during the project implementation period and, mainly, contributing to future sustainability after 36 months of completion. In addition to a financial prize, the competition includes a specialized and individualized mentoring program. As a result of this action, 6 new companies will be created, two in Angola, two in Mozambique, one in Guinea-Bissau and one in Timor-Leste. It is estimated that 32 hours of mentoring will be carried out for each selected project.
