The Centum Foundation, an initiative of the Centum Group with a flagship focus on entrepreneurship is looking for young entrepreneurs who are looking to make big money.
“The world over, Entrepreneurship is lauded as a driving force of many great and soon-to-be-great economies. It is through entrepreneurship that important innovations enter the market, and lead to new products or production processes which eventually increase efficiency; thereby increasing diversification & stimulating competition,” says the firm.
The foundation will effectively identify and invest in ideas, start-up companies and existing small businesses, and turn them into market leaders of tomorrow.
The Centum Foundation will use the funding provided and leverage the Group’s unique position as a market leader in the East African market to help innovative SMMEs (that might otherwise be unable to obtain finance) with access to Knowledge, Capital, Markets and Business Incubation.
The Foundation is looking for businesses with the following characteristics:
