Kumul Foundation Organizing PNG for EWC

The judging panelists, sponsors, media partners and investors will also go into the global network and benefit from the opportunities to access training and investment opportunities globally. 

Companies and investors that are interested to become partners with EWC Papua New Guinea are advised to email nedi@kumul.org for more information. 

Entrepreneurship Encouraged

With the theme of encouraging entrepreneurship through education, KF is presenting young people with realistic role models and working with ex-students of schools who are now entrepreneurs.

Tusbab will be visited by Madang local and online entrepreneur, Thelma Raulo, who runs her business “Thelma Marie E-commerce” while keeping her job as an accountant.

She began her e-commerce journey in 2015 deciding to generate an extra income as a form of financial security.

Global Entrepreneurship Week

PNG schools will join a global community under the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) of which the Kumul Foundation is a member.

GEW has been recognized and celebrated in Papua New Guinea since 2014 along with 165 other countries across six continents.

The Kumul Foundation will be holding school programs throughout the week led by local entrepreneurs who will visit their old schools in Madang, Port Moresby, Wewak and Buka.

​40 entrepreneurs begin journey

The participants were chosen from more than 300 applicants after a callout throughout the country, as well as the Pacific, for participants.

These included five entrepreneurs from the Pacific Islands joining 35 Papua New Guineans, who will undergo two weeks of intense training and mentoring in the boot camp.

“This boot camp will be a transformational boot camp as it will help them change the way they look at all the problems in the society and will help them develop solutions in a way that is efficient,” said Anthony Smare, chairman of Kumul Foundation.
