As part of the implementation of the Startup Act, IYBA-SEED is proud to contribute to the operationalization of the new Startup Ecosystem platform, aimed at structuring and invigorating Senegal’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
The Startup Ecosystem platform now provides a one-stop digital portal for startup certification, streamlining administrative procedures and access to the incentives provided by the law.
IYBA-SEED has provided its expertise and financial support to the design and structuring of the digital tool, enabling startups to register, obtain their official certification, and access the services and benefits of the Startup Act.
Through this contribution, we are actively involved in creating a more structured, transparent, and innovation-friendly entrepreneurial ecosystem, opening up new opportunities for Senegalese youth and entrepreneurs.
It also reflects the European Union’s commitment to a dynamic and sustainable entrepreneurial environment, capable of driving startup growth and strengthening the local economic fabric.
