Entrepreneurship as an engine

Forty percent of Africa's population lives in poverty (*). Yet the continent's sustainable future lies in its own talent and potential. Hence the importance of entrepreneurship. It creates employment and higher income, and opens up the prospect of better education. In short, it creates self-confidence and new opportunities for families and communities.
 

Entrepreneurship as a common thread

Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs (OVO): the name says it all. Our organization supports sustainable entrepreneurship in Africa.
 

We select and guide African businesses and organizations with a social and environmental impact. We watch over the quality of every step in this process. In doing so, we work with an international network of partners and organizations that share the same objectives.
 

For each project, we look for Belgian entrepreneurs, companies and investors, who provide knowledge and/or resources.

Entrepreneurship as collaboration

At OVO, we firmly believe in equality. African companies and organizations write their own success stories. At the same time, Belgian companies and investors expand their outlook, creativity and commitment.
