Public Policies for Startups
Choosing the life of an entrepreneur is an exciting but frightening step for any person who is taking a leap of faith and leaving the traditional wage employment for a startup lifestyle, one of many doubts but also many passions. In Africa, entrepreneurs are finding it more difficult to access equal educational and financial opportunities thus they join forces to build startup acts and improve the legal framework in which they evolve. Despite the countless efforts of private and public institutions, Moroccan entrepreneurs still struggle to create, fund and expand their businesses, thus making this conversation all the more relevant.
