Within the Empreende Jovem Project, the Minister of Youth, Sports and Entrepreneurship, Vinício Pina, signed a contract with eight (8) new entrepreneurs so that they receive funding for their business projects.

Empreende Jovem is a programme run by MJDE with funding from UNDP which aims to support the private sector in the creation of employment and through this improve the family economies of those involved, both entrepreneurs and those who work in the companies that the project aims to support.

In parallel to the prize of 25.000 USD, this and other winning organisations will also have internet services, during a period of execution, offered by UNITEL-STP, and also the possibility of having financial guidance from BGFI Bank, partners of the Programme.
