TESITO

• “A connection between entrepreneurs from the South and entrepreneurs from the North, based on mutual respect and equality, is of added value for anyone – both at the personal and the business level.”
  
  Tesito is a Mandinka word, meaning: let’s get to work! This word is symbolic of the dynamic approach of many West-African entrepreneurs. That is why this special new program, in which Better Future will have a facilitating role, is called TESITO.
• Tesito wants to form the bridge between African and Dutch entrepreneurship – forming a basis for exchange of experience and ideas. The Entrepreneurs Connected program is especially designed for existing, medium-sized companies and entrepreneurs who have proven their worth, yet want to come up with new ideas and inspiration. It will consist of a one-week journey to West-Africa for Dutch entrepreneurs, as well as a short internship in The Netherlands for their West-African counterparts.
• The Future Entrepreneurs component connects starting entrepreneurs from West-Africa as well as The Netherlands in a two-week program that will centre around creating your dream business plan and getting the tools that will help you realize it.
  If you are interested in connecting Dutch and African entrepreneurs, please contact leading partner Laurens Smals at laurens@tesito.nl.
