\u201cWe assist on what is needed by the entrepreneurs and offer our services as tailor-made as possible; we work according to a clear, easy to understand model; and we operate as clean as possible by focusing on effectiveness and creating leverage through partnerships,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

On her part, Ms Wardat Mustafa- \u2018Cube-Zanzibar\u2019 Hub Manger, said that they were also providing employability training, business consultation, renting or to let venue and co-working space, and event coordination, She said since the formation of the \u2018Cube \u2013 Zanzibar\u2019 in 2018, they have implemented a two week incubation programme in cooperation with Nomu Hub Pioneering volunteers, and Health Innovation Solution Programme in collaboration with D-tree International and ADViMPACT.<\/p>\n
