“Women are our greatest entrepreneurs” – founder of the Media Nove group

“Women are our greatest entrepreneurs, both from a social and business perspective,” said N’Gunu Tiny, founder of the Media Nove group, this Wednesday, the 20th, in Luanda.

Speaking at the opening of the Forbes Africa Lusophone Annual Summit 2024, an event that brings together visionary leaders from the energy industry to discuss how diversity and inclusion drive innovation and success, N’Gunu Tiny emphasized that women earn significantly less than men, both in the formal and informal sectors.

“Angola has created mechanisms to promote female entrepreneurship, such as Acelera Angola and the Credit Guarantee Fund,” he highlighted.

He further elaborated that female leadership today means undertaking, impacting, and transforming. He added that gender parity is a moral imperative for any just society and is established through inclusive, impactful, and consequently more sustainable leadership.

“Impactful leadership is increasingly important in transforming companies, and this requires the engagement of CEOs in adopting governance that ensures dynamism, innovation, talent attraction, and the alignment of organizations with ESG standards,” he argued.

According to the founder of the Media Nove group, “on the topic of energy, we need to be coherent and realistic.”

“We must adhere to principles, but we must also be gradual in their implementation. We must be aware that different economies are not at the same stage of development; it is essential to consider each one’s specificities: scan globally, reinvent locally,” he urged.
