On November 23, 2024, Place Mamadou Diop in Yoff hosted the 12th edition of the “Pose Ton Idée” pitch competition, organized by Time2Start in collaboration with the municipality of Yoff. This event allowed local entrepreneurs to present their projects in front of a jury made up of recognized personalities such as Bamba Lô, founder of Paps, Cheikh Ahmed Tidiane Samb, founder of Tiak-Tiak, and Siny Samba, founder of Lionceau. Since 2019, “Pose Ton Idée” has supported more than 100 entrepreneurs in France and Senegal, offering resources and tailor-made support to reveal the entrepreneurial potential of neighborhoods. After each competition, Time2Start offers participants a one-year support program to help them structure and develop their activities. This initiative, supported by numerous partners, demonstrates Yoff’s commitment to becoming a hub of innovation and creativity in West Africa.
