The day after AngoTic ended, I went to Benguela to take part in the Business and Connectivity Forum 2023, at the invitation of the MediaNova group, to whom I am deeply grateful. I gained a lot of knowledge, connected with very intelligent people, took part in masterclasses and smiled as new friendships were formed. I met the illustrious Asafh Valela, a great mental coach, who in a short time taught me a lot about business and emotional intelligence. I was the youngest participant at the event, which earned me a gift: a T-shirt and pen from Maria Lopes of the Bié VP-CG Group. It was an interprovincial exchange of knowledge.

I took part representing TekiPass. I had a great time networking with incredible people, exchanging ideas and receiving guidance from the illustrious Nsuka Manuel Bula and other figures who were very positive for my project.

On May 6, a few days after the Angola Startup Summit. I was invited to be an exhibitor at this fair, where I presented my project to Her Excellency, the Vice-Governor for the political, social and economic sector, Mrs. Sónia Domingos, and all the press present. I was accompanied by my colleague and friend Awa Dieme, one of the developers of the AWAMA project - a non-invasive malaria detection system - and I also met with the Director General of ITEL, Mr. Cláudio Gonçalves, to whom I am very grateful for all the opportunities provided. It was a great experience, and I also received a certificate of participation for my portfolio.

I took part as an exhibitor, representing the startup TekiPass and showing the SmartBrace project (Ticketing, Consumption and Access Control Management System via RFID for events). During this activity, I had the privilege of having a short conversation with His Excellency, the Minister of Economy and Planning, Mr. Mário de Sousa, who was impressed by my work.
