**Fatshimetrie – Support for Young Entrepreneurs in Haut Katanga, DRC**
Entrepreneurial dynamism is a key driver of economic development worldwide. In the Haut Katanga province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, this growth is highlighted by the launch of an innovative program to support young entrepreneurs, SOPA+ (Standard Opérationnel de Concours de Plan d’Affaires et Accélération). This event, which brought together various actors from the entrepreneurial ecosystem, demonstrates the collective commitment to promoting entrepreneurship in the region.
Mr. Darly Kalupu, provincial director of the National Agency for the Development of Entrepreneurship (Anadec / Haut Katanga), highlighted the importance of SOPA+ as a real lever for transformation for young entrepreneurs. This program offers a structured and operational framework, providing participants with practical tools, targeted training and personalized support. The objective is to create an environment conducive to innovation, creativity and the sustainability of entrepreneurial projects.
By investing in young entrepreneurs, we are also investing in the future of the Haut Katanga province. Each idea, each project, each young entrepreneur has the potential to become a key player in the local economy. It is essential to support these talents by guiding them on the sometimes pitfalls of entrepreneurship. Collaboration between the different actors in the ecosystem is essential to create a lasting and significant impact.
Mr. Kalupu’s call to the actors of the entrepreneurial ecosystem to welcome the SOPA+ program with enthusiasm and determination is an invitation to actively contribute to the training of a new generation of dynamic and innovative entrepreneurs in Haut Katanga. By joining forces and expertise, these actors will be able to breathe new energy into local entrepreneurship and participate in building a stronger and more inclusive economy.
In conclusion, the initiative to launch the support program for young entrepreneurs in Haut Katanga is a significant step towards creating an environment conducive to entrepreneurial development. By supporting and promoting local talent, we are helping to build a more promising future for the province and its inhabitants. The partnership between the different actors in the ecosystem is the key to the success of this approach and opens the way to new opportunities for the economic and social growth of the region.
