The event combines professional recognition with discussion of networking and financial literacy.
On 19 October 2024, Jean Thierry Monsenepwo received a best board-chair award during the second Rencontre internationale des décideurs et opportunités, or RIDOPP. Press coverage links the distinction to his work at COBIL. It is recognition awarded within that event.
The gathering also focused on entrepreneurship. Young companies displayed their products to gain visibility and meet decision makers or potential funders. The award ceremony formed part of professional exchanges and experience sharing.
Thierry spoke about financial literacy and networks for project founders. Reports refer to his experience with the La Colombe cooperative and an announcement of support for ten start-ups. This connects entrepreneurial ambitions with the resources needed to develop a viable project.
The reports do not provide a complete selection timetable, financing amounts or an implementation assessment. Ten therefore remains the target announced at the gathering, rather than a verified count of completed financing or a standing credit offer on this website.
In his reported acknowledgements, Thierry associated the award with the president’s vision and the collective work of COBIL’s leadership. This explains the meaning he assigned to the distinction; it is not an independent performance assessment.
The retained date is the ceremony date, 19 October. ACTUALITE.CD’s report appeared the following day. The award and the entrepreneurship discussion are two complementary aspects of the same event.
