Entrepreneurs, business angels and investors at Startup&Angels #2 in Port Moresby

Announcement posted by Australiance 25 Jul 2018

The series of events Startup&Angels is coming back in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, for a second edition on Thursday 2 August 2018, at the Lamana Hotel in Waigani, after more than 40 editions around the world in the last 2 years, from Africa to Asia

Since its inception in 2016, Startup&Angels allowed people to hear insights, stories and journeys from local and international tech and startup entrepreneurs, founders and experts. Startup&Angels organised events in more than 15 cities around the world, with more than 40 editions, as far as Rwanda, Kenya, Cambodia, Nepal, Singapore, Hong Kong, Papua New Guinea and Australia.

For this second edition in Port Moresby, several speakers will share their journeys with the audience, including Axel Peyriere from Emerging Classifieds Ventures, Andrew Runawery from PNG SME Business Magazine, Kaung Sitt from GSMA, Priscilla Kevin from the PNG ICT Cluster and others to be announced.


The attendees will also be able to discuss before and after the talks with other attendees and the speakers, and ask them questions. The perfect space to mingle about entrepreneurship, new technologies and startups.


Event host Axel Peyriere from Emerging Classifieds Ventures says that the startup and entrepreneurship scene in Papua New Guinea is growing fast, with more and more projects monthly, and with its 10 million population, PNG has everything to thrive in this industry. Startup&Angels is happening just before the APEC Conference that will be hosted in Port Moresby later this year and gives PNG a great focus worldwide.


The event will also see the launch of 2 new online marketplaces in PNG that will facilitate communication between customers and small & medium businesses, MyWantok.com and PNGhometask.com.


With only a limited 80 free seats available, organizers of the event are encouraging startup entrepreneurs, high level SME services providers in Finance, Banking, Insurance, Primary Industry, Supply Chain and HRM amongst others to book early online on the eventbrite event page www.eventbrite.com.au/e/startupangels-port-moresby-2-tickets-47699535595.


The event is supported by the Australian Government and TechinPacific.com, an online media about startup and technology news in the Pacific countries.
