A group of Mozambican students based in Portugal will be participating in an important innovation and creativity event called Hackathon AEMOTech, in the city of Porto, Portugal, from 5 to 6 April, with the motto “Innovation for Employability”.

The idea is to promote creative solutions to improve employability and create sustainable ideas with a positive impact on the job market. The initiative is from the Association of Mozambican Students in Porto and Techsolutions, a national technology and IT company.

During the ceremony, participants will have to work together, stimulate creativity and develop strategies to solve problems related to employment, focusing on the reality of Mozambique, but with solutions that can also be applied in other countries.

According to the event’s curators, the work teams, made up of three to five people, will be guided by experts in the areas of marketing, technology, finance, public policy and entrepreneurship. The idea, say the organizers, is for participants to test their skills, learn from others and contribute ideas that help improve working conditions, as well as promote social and economic development in Mozambique and beyond.

In addition to the competition between teams, the event also serves as a great opportunity for academic and cultural exchange, interaction between students, mentors and leaders from different areas, thus opening doors for new collaborations and future partnerships.

The AEMOTech Hackathon is a celebration of the creative potential of Mozambican students. It shows how innovation and entrepreneurship can be essential to building a better and more prosperous future.
