IDEAS IN MOTION
Ideas in Motion is the organization behind the online platform idego. The non-profit organization connects Rwandan entrepreneurs with English speaking, highly skilled and experienced students and young professionals from all over the world.
We believe that fostering entrepreneurship in developing countries can help to overcome poverty and unemployment. Therefore, we support Rwandan startups for a period of one to six months by offering them free human capital.
This allows students and young professionals to apply their acquired knowledge in a new environment, while entrepreneurs can satisfy their needs for specific skills.
