CONCEPTUAL NOTE
For more information, please click here   

Conceptual note
According to Nasdaq, trends point to more than 90% of purchases being made through e-commerce by 2040. This unavoidable reality allows entrepreneurs to develop export activities, strengthen positions in international markets and scale their businesses. In 2021, around 3.8 billion people, approximately half of the world's population, made purchases of goods or services online. That same year, online retail sales amounted to $4.5 trillion worldwide. This reality reflects a profound change in consumer buying habits, with e-commerce gaining a position in sales compared to traditional commerce. The forecast is that by 2025, 4.9 billion online shoppers will be reached, corresponding to an average annual growth rate of 7% between 2021 and 2025.

In 2023, there were around 5.4 billion internet users worldwide, corresponding to a penetration rate of 67.9%. In that year, the African continent, with a population of 1.4 billion, had 602 million internet users, corresponding to a penetration rate of 43.2%, compared to 4.5 million users in 2000. In 2023, Europe had 747 million internet users in that same year, corresponding to a penetration rate of 89.2%.:

Global e-commerce revenues in Africa reached around $21.4 trillion in 2021 and are expected to reach around $46.1 trillion in 2025. The opportunities the digital economy offers are estimated to contribute more than $750 trillion to the African continent's annual GDP.:

The accelerated digitalization of social relations between citizens, the profound changes in modern society's consumption habits, and the rapid expansion of logistics operations for collecting and distributing parcels have placed the e-commerce sector at the forefront of international trade. In this new context, the winning companies will be those that can respond quickly to these citizens' new habits.

The development of technology, the growing preference of citizens for online shopping, the speed of delivery of products - same day express, the advantages of dematerialization and disintermediation in processes, the cost factor and flexibility, make logistics operators assume in the context of e-commerce a preponderant role in the functioning of internal and external commerce.

According to the International Telecommunication Union, UIT, Cabo Verde went from a modest number of Internet users in 2000, about 1.8% of the population, to a penetration rate of 62.3% in 2021. Aware of the potential and strategic economic value of e-commerce, its small domestic market, its condition as an island country and its population in the Diaspora, which totals more than twice the resident population, Cape Verde has integrated the main regional economic blocs and adopted a strong, successful commitment to the development of technology and the digitalization of its economy.

Many countries have a significant number of their citizens living outside their national territory, especially in the case of Cabo Verde, which has a tremendous geographical dispersion of its natural market and its strategic geoeconomic positions in different markets of greater relevance (Africa, Europe and the Americas), technology and e-Commerce play a significant role in connecting markets, companies and consumers.

In this context, a Training / Specialization in e-commerce and online business management will take place in Cabo Verde, from March 17 to 25, 2025, in the city of Praia, Santiago Island, aimed at young Entrepreneurs.

After specialization, Entrepreneurs will be able to develop their own businesses and take advantage of the high potential of the markets in which Cape Verde is an integral part, either as a full member or as a party to strategic agreements, namely the market of the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, with more than 410 million consumers; the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) market, with more than 1.4 billion consumers; the AGOA market, USA, with more than 330 million consumers; and the European Union market (EU/GSP+) with more than 440 million consumers.

Economic operators thus have access to a market with about 2.2 billion consumers. Technology is a faithful ally to bridge borders and position itself, benefiting from permanent monitoring by internationally renowned specialists, operating according to the concept of Virtual Incubator Center.
