News from Angola – The first edition of the conference on finance, investments and business entitled “Fin Summit”, is an opportunity for business, inclusion and financial education.
Focused on inclusion and financial education, the event is a window of opportunity for young people looking to invest.
Speaking to the press, Luanda’s municipal administrator, Milka Caquesse, explained that the executive must support initiatives of this kind.
Afterwards, Euclides Francisco, project mentor, said that the country offers permeable conditions and numerous business opportunities, which is why it can be said that “it is possible to invest in Angola”.
According to him, the big problem is how we deal with opportunities, so we have to look at the country from a different point of view, not with that negative point of view that it is impossible to invest in Angola.
The Event involved Workshops and mentoring sessions, with an emphasis on innovation, sustainability and personal financial management.
Interview: Exploring Investment Opportunities in Angola with Euclides Francisco, Project Mentor of Fin Summit
Time.news Editor: Thank you for joining us today, Euclides. The recent Fin Summit held in Angola has garnered significant attention. Can you share the main objectives of this conference and its importance in the current economic landscape?
Euclides Francisco: Thank you for having me. The Fin Summit aimed to create a platform focused on finance, investments, and business with a strong emphasis on inclusion and financial education. The importance of this event cannot be overstated, especially as Angola looks to foster a more inclusive economy. By providing opportunities for young people to learn about investment, we are nurturing a generation that can engage with and contribute to the economy meaningfully.
Time.news Editor: It sounds like a fantastic initiative! You mentioned that Angola has permeable conditions for business opportunities. Can you elaborate on what makes Angola an attractive destination for investors?
Euclides Francisco: Absolutely. Angola is rich in natural resources and has a strategic geographic location that offers access to various markets. Moreover, the government is increasingly supportive of foreign investments. The key is to recognize that while there have been challenges historically, the current climate is ripe with opportunities for both local and international investors who are willing to engage positively.
Time.news Editor: There’s often a perception that investing in Angola can be challenging. How do you believe this perception can be shifted?
Euclides Francisco: It’s crucial to shift the narrative surrounding investment in Angola. We need to highlight success stories and focus on how to approach opportunities creatively and strategically. Rather than viewing Angola through a lens of skepticism, potential investors should recognize the country’s evolving landscape, supported by initiatives like the Fin Summit. It’s all about finding the right partners and being proactive.
Time.news Editor: The event featured workshops and mentoring with a focus on innovation, sustainability, and personal financial management. Can you discuss why these aspects are vital in today’s investment climate?
Euclides Francisco: Innovation and sustainability are at the core of modern business practices. Investors today are increasingly looking for opportunities that are not just profitable but also responsible. By emphasizing these themes at the Fin Summit, we prepare young investors to think critically and ethically about the businesses they wish to create or invest in. Personal financial management is equally important; it equips individuals with the skills to handle their finances effectively, ensuring long-term sustainability for their ventures.
Time.news Editor: Those points are incredibly insightful. For our readers who are interested in investing in Angola, what practical advice would you offer them?
Euclides Francisco: My advice would be to thoroughly research the sectors that interest them. Engage with local businesses and industries to understand their dynamics. Networking is crucial; relationships built through events like the Fin Summit can provide invaluable insights and support. Additionally, look for mentorship; having someone experienced in the Angolan market can help navigate challenges and identify potential pitfalls.
Time.news Editor: Thank you, Euclides, for your valuable insights. The Fin Summit seems to play a pivotal role in changing perceptions and fostering a prosperous investment climate in Angola.
Euclides Francisco: Thank you for having me. I believe that by focusing on education and collaboration, we can unlock Angola’s full potential as an investment hub.
