We were thrilled to appear on Global Impact Innovators AYV TV. It is one of Sierra Leone’s most prominent media networks. We shared our vision for transforming the country’s entrepreneurial landscape. The interview gave us a platform to share our ambitious plans for Sierra Leone. We also highlighted our partnership with a government agency that promotes local products.
Empowering Rural Entrepreneurs Through Technology
During our time on AYV’s Channel 33, we outlined our comprehensive approach to entrepreneurial development, with a particular focus on reaching Sierra Leone’s rural communities. Our upcoming training initiative will target underserved areas. Entrepreneurs in these regions often lack access to modern marketing tools and technology.
We are launching an intensive bootcamp in July 2025, designed to be a game-changer for Sierra Leone’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. This multi-day program will welcome entrepreneurs from across the nation. It will create new opportunities for learning and networking.
Overwhelming Response from the Business Community
What started as a plan to work with 30 established young entrepreneurs has evolved into something much larger. The response has been extraordinary – we’ve already attracted over 60 established entrepreneurs, particularly from rural areas, who are eager to participate in our program. Given this overwhelming interest, we’re considering expanding our capacity to accommodate all qualified applicants, even though our original framework was designed for 30 participants.
Focus on Marketing Innovation and Predictive Technology
Our bootcamp will focus on two critical areas: advanced marketing techniques and predictive technology. These tools can transform how businesses operate in Sierra Leone. These skills are essential for rural entrepreneurs who want to scale their operations and compete in both local and international markets.
By combining traditional business acumen with cutting-edge technological tools, we aim to create a new generation of tech-savvy entrepreneurs who can drive economic growth in their communities while preserving the authenticity of Sierra Leone-made products.
Looking Ahead
Global Impact Innovators and Sierra Leone’s government agencies formed a partnership. This is a significant step toward creating a sustainable, innovation-driven economy. Our appearance on AYV TV was just the beginning of what we hope will be an ongoing conversation about the future of entrepreneurship in Sierra Leone.
As we prepare for our July bootcamp and rural training initiatives, we remain committed to our mission of empowering local entrepreneurs with the tools, knowledge, and networks they need to succeed in an increasingly connected world.
