Bujahub is organizing Bootcamp in order to stimulate innovation while promoting SMEs in Burundi to understand, choose and implement working business models for their start-ups. It will involve generating practical solutions that may help entrepreneurs in Burundi resist the high rate of entrepreneurial mortality, especially when thinking about the establishment of the project and its funding.

Our main aim is to stimulate critical thinking, innovation, and adoption of scalable business models that are sector-specific and that have a clear value chain proposition for the existing market. It will also serve as a road map to showcase ways of solving the financial issues through strategic partnerships, angel/capital investment for funding, and learning about effective marketing.

It’s a collection of 5 start-up companies and SMEs with different backgrounds who will work together with professional and experienced mentors and coaches to generate innovative solutions and scale up their business models in tapping the market. The participants will be selected from five different sectors i.e. Health, Transportation, Agriculture, Trade, and Education.

It also collects groups of the public and private sector, capital investors, web& App developers, business designers, marketers, bankers, businesspersons, startup enthusiasts, digital marketing gurus, graphic designers who work tirelessly to help participants design innovative startups within 24 hours.
