Over the past years one enterprise is creating an ecosystem to drive the new face of northern region through entrepreneurial skills. Samakose Enterprise developed by Amin wants to see young people develop their idea and make it a reality to help themselves and the their immediate environment.
At Samakose you are not only trained to develop your idea, but you get to develop your personality and also get you get connected to other like minded people so you can network and find similarities with each other where you can collaborate to move your respective enterprises forward.
” Samakose is a home for everyone who wants to make an impact, you don’t have to necessarily have to be an entrepreneur but eventually you will have to be an entrepreneur because you need to keep what you are doing going and it has to live on after you are gone.
So I will say it is the home of entrepreneurs where you come to get the skills, the consultancy and whatever you need to scale up your business and get connected to other business who you can collaborate with to do whatever you want to do business with.”

We pick you personally, polish you up because we believe we are not investing in your idea. I am not wasting my time or spending my time looking at your idea. That is not what I am interested in.
I am interested in your personality because at the end of the day, it is the personality that will run the place. So if the personality is not developed how can you run a develop idea?” Stories like this make us believe that future of young people is bright and they are in safe hands with selfless and developmental oriented people.
