The aim of this conference was to present to Burkinabe entrepreneurs innovative financing mechanisms such as Private Equity.
At the same time, in order to demonstrate its total commitment to the development of Entrepreneurship in Burkina Faso, ICIG offered a prize of 1 million CFA francs during the competition of the JEB 2014 business plans.
