Mozambique's telecom regulator INCM kicked off training for their ThinkLab startup incubator program with sessions from the ITU and their own stats department. Mohamed Ba from the International Telecommunication Union talked about how incubators fit into digital transformation and what regulatory stuff matters for keeping tech startups alive, while Ana Priscila from INCM showed people how to actually use communications data for planning instead of just having numbers sit around doing nothing.
The whole thing runs hybrid with both in-person and online options, so incubators outside Maputo can join without having to travel. INCM wants to build up local tech solutions and get entrepreneurs plugged into the regulatory framework early, so they don't faceplant later when compliance becomes a problem.
