With this aim in mind, he got into the field of ICT. </p> <p>While working his job as an engineer, he used his salary to start a business on the side and employ people to do sales for him. Eventually he made the shift into full time entrepreneur with his first venture, BIG Technologies, and from there helped launch several businesses, one being <a href="https://www.innovalab-gw.com/" target="_blank">InnovaLab</a>, a social enterprise, that functions as an accelerator of innovative youth enterprises in Guinea Bissau and <a href="https://www.ubuntu2s.com/" target="_blank">Ubuntu 2S</a>, an enterprise aiming at bringing electricity to rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa through Solar Home System kits.</p> <p>There is a ton of gold in this interview, so stay tuned.
