At the end of this month, I will attend to the 2nd edition of the Rwanda Week (25-27th March 2011). I am currently bringing my modest contribution to the organization and I will also do a keynote about mobile banking outlooks in Africa (one of my favorite topics). Here is a quick presentation of the event :
On March 25th, 26th and 27th 2011, the Rwanda Week Forum will hold an European meeting focus on the Entrepreneurship initiatives of the Rwandan Diaspora and the partners which support and encourage the economic development of Rwanda.
The purpose of this event consist in launching officially actions for gathering ressources in Europe and support initiatives aiming to stimulate the social and economic development of Rwanda. Conceptualized 12 months ago through the Rwanda Business Exchange platform, this ambitious project brings together various «Afro-optimistic» partners looking for being involved in relevant actions, beyond formal speeches.
Among attendees there will be CEO, entrepreneurs, top executives and professionals coming from european countries such as Switzerland, Belgium, France, UK or Netherlands. Participants will debate in plenary sessions or within small groups about the topics on the agenda. Finally they will agree on the crucial initiatives which will emerge from this brainstorming and various meetings. Our main goal : turning ideas into reality.
