Dear MoMo,
Tonight MoMo is putting the “thinking globally, acting locally” motto to practice. Taking us through his local/ global journey is fellow Mozambican and ICT4D enthusiast Frederico Pereira da Silva, co-founder of the Mozambican ICT4D startup UX and one of the brains behind one of the largest job portals in the country - emprego.mz.
Earlier this year, Frederico and his team of entrepreneurs and developers, were awarded the prize “Fora da Caixa”, an initiative by the Ministry of Science and Technology and Gapi Sociedade de Investimentos SA, supported by the Republic of Finland, to promote entrepreneurship in Mozambique. More recently, UX were the 1st prize winners of the Start-upChallenge Moçambique, organized by Leadership Business Consulting and partners, which took the team all the way to renowned Silicon Valley in the US for 3 months. There they have been sharing knowledge with the likes of Google, LinkedIn, IDEO and many more. On his way back, Frederico also participated in one of the biggest startup conferences – Slush - with 80 countries represented, which continued to put him in the global experience, this time in Finland.
Join us for our last MoMo event of the year and come learn about this young entrepreneur's experience, carrying ICT4D forward in Mozambique and in mcelthe international arena, and how YOU can do it too.
