Luanda - The National Institute of Support for Small and Medium Enterprises (INAPEM) has certified, since 2022 to date, more than 37,000 enterprises, including micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, said the institution's manager, Bráulio Augusto.
The certified companies, according to the manager, are mostly linked to the production and provision of goods and services.
Bráulio Augusto, who was speaking during the first Methodological Meeting on the Drafting Project for the National Entrepreneurship Strategy, stressed that such data prove the existence, today, of greater interest of civil society, especially young people, in entrepreneurship.
He stated that there has been a positive dynamic, because every day new entrepreneurs have been born, leaving the country with an increase of around seven to eight percent, in terms of growth among small and medium investments in the entrepreneurship segment.
The meeting results from the implementation of the Joint Programme of the European Union and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (EU/UNCTAD), known as "Train for trade II", which includes six (6) other components mainly aimed at strengthening the activity business in Angola.
