The Equatorial Guinean Minister of Planning and Economic Diversification, His Excellency, Gabriel Mbaga Obiang Lima this week visited Dreams Hub Entrepreneurship, Research and Innovation Center, Malabo.
Received by the Founder, Oscar Nchaso Bekari and Managing Director, Ivan Bita Dougan, he was given the ‘dreams tour’ around the establishment from the multipurpose alpha hall which also acts as a co-working space, the galleria, the media centre and rounded up the tour at the incubator, ‘La Capsula’. The Minister was visibly impressed by the work being done at the Hub to continue having a positive impact on the society.
Mr. Nchaso, during the tour, explained all of the organisation’s products, its processes and some of what is to come. The Minister on his part, encouraged the Dreams Hub team to continue doing great and commended them for the work done so far, once again, recognising them as an important member in the technology and entrepreneurship space.
It will be recalled that His Excellency, Gabriel Mbaga Obiang Lima, had hosted Dreams Hub to a meeting at the Ministry weeks ago in which the digital economy was the centre of discussion as well as possible collaborations.
During his visit to La Capsula, the Honourable Minister met with one of the startups currently in the program, GreenLives, winners of the 2022 TotalEnergies Startup Challenge. Focused on recycling and ecotourism, the Founder, Anabel Siale Barila, also met with the Minister and presented one of their products from recyclable materials, La Bota de Africa, which is a recreation of the map of the Bioko Island, and the name was formed due to its shape like that of a boot.
As the ‘Dreams tour’ wrapped up, H.E. Gabriel Mbaga Obiang Lima penned some words of further commendations and encouragement in the ‘Dreams register’ saying, don’t stop!
