Encouraging youth entrepreneurship
BNI Madagascar has established the Young Entrepreneur Awards (TJE) for the year 2024. Four young enterprises particularly stood out by embodying this vision.
The founder of « Foodmark », Randja Ranaivozanany, won first prize in the « TJE Growth+ » category. His innovative collective catering and food service company excels in meeting the demands of a booming market.
Landry Tsisatrana won the award in the « TJE Startup » category with « Cycle Co ». This young company innovates in urban transport by offering solar-powered cyclo-pousse.
Soamiadana Rabetsaroana received the « TJE Growth+ Favorite » award for her online platform, « Saint-Louis Juridique ». This tool transforms legal texts into easily understandable images and graphics for everyone.
The TJE Growth+ category is intended for those who have already established their business, with a minimum annual turnover of 13,500 USD and strong development potential. In contrast, the TJE Startup category is aimed at entrepreneurs who have launched their businesses less than a year ago or are developing an innovative idea.
The TJE Growth+ winner receives a zero-interest loan of 100 million MGA for the first year, while the TJE Startup winner receives a zero-interest loan of 50 million MGA.
