As part of its mission to strengthen the country's digital ecosystem, Senegal Connect has initiated a broad consultation with key actors in the startup community to operationalize Law No. 2020-01-06, which governs the creation and promotion of startups.
The consultation workshop, organized in collaboration with the Senegalese Association of Normalization ASN, aims to review and refine the proposed startup labelling process and internal regulations. This labelling system is designed to provide startups with a range of benefits, including tax incentives, customs facilitation, market access, and funding opportunities, thereby fostering a more supportive environment for innovation.
Representatives from startups, technical and financial partners, and other stakeholders participated in discussions, sharing insights and recommendations to ensure the labelling framework reflects the needs and expectations of the broader ecosystem. The outcomes of the workshop will be submitted to President Bassirou Djomay Djokhar Fay and the Minister of Communications and Telecommunications, serving as a comprehensive overview of sector priorities.
