WIDE / Women in Digital Empowerment Luxembourg

🌍✨ This summer, WIDE ANDCO proudly collaborated with Senegal's La Délégation Générale à l'Entreprenariat Rapide - DER to deliver online training to agritech entrepreneurs through the D4D programme supported by LuxDev - Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency ! 🚀

We covered No Code, Digital Businesses, UX and Digital Entrepreneurship which culminated in an incredible benchmarking visit to Luxembourg.🌱

During that visit, we organised our dynamic Project Lab, where participants explored various tools and resources to develop innovative, market-focused solutions for Senegal’s agritech challenges.💡🌾

Special shout-out to EcoTransFaire for partnering with us in showcasing Luxembourg's agritech scene, empowering these changemakers to build impactful solutions for Senegal's agricultural future! 🌾🤝
