| description |
The establishment of an Agribusiness
Innovation Center (AIC) in Senegal takes advantage of
already existing agriculture and agro-processing sectors and
uses this to both identify and support a pipeline of growth
enterprises that can be accelerated. The AIC initiative
seeks to identify growth entrepreneurs and these are defined
as entrepreneurs that can create a significant number of job
opportunities while expanding markets through regional,
national and export sales. Their impact is therefore much
deeper than survivalist entrepreneurs who are in business to
support their immediate family livelihood. Once identified,
the AIC supports them to make best use of resources and
market opportunities. In a phased approach, starting with
the Saint Louis region, the AIC is introducing
pre-incubation support that can, depending on the initial
outcomes, develop into a future AIC hub being developed in
each of the regions. The Saint Louis Satellite AIC (sAIC)
includes the following activities: 1) establishment and
awareness creation; 2) introductory entrepreneurship
workshops; 3) pre-incubation enterprise development
programme; 4) assessment of regional business opportunities
in the region and market opportunity matching with local
enterprises; and 5) initiation of incubation for selected enterprises. |
