Investment Academies

These activities embody the financial approach of the project, which aims to boost and direct financial flows between the two shores of the Mediterranean to increase a productive investment in Africa, in particular for local entrepreneurs and diaspora communities.

To this end, projects of entrepreneurs who have benefited from the two different tracks will be evaluated ex ante on their potential in terms of local impact (according to the methodologies of the EDILE and/or CSR Tunisia labels), in order to select and label 20 projects and promote them on a crowdfunding platform targeting, among others, investors of the diaspora.

These entrepreneurs will benefit from further training in project storytelling and pitching and a communication campaign to promote their company. They will then participate in two “Investment Academies” in Casablanca and Brussels. They will meet investors in these regional events.

Finally, some of these entrepreneurs will participate in the final DiafrikInvest event in Dakar which will mobilise the business community.
