Challenges of entrepreneurship in the developing world and how to break barriers

On The Qonversation, we spoke with Christoph Pleitgen, the Managing Director of the Westerwelle Foundation, a non-profit which empowers entrepreneurs in Africa, Asia and Latin America by creating opportunities for young people through support programmes. We discussed the challenges of entrepreneurship in the developing world and how to break barriers. Christoph just visited East Africa where he explored some start-ups and spoke to some young entrepreneurs in their programme. He discusses his experiences on The Qonversation hosted by Ismail Akwei.
