 We're here on the last day of ITU Telecom World 2019 in Budapest, Hungary and I'm here outside the Mozambique pavilion here where I'm joined, very pleased to be joined by Mr. Masingwe Apala who's the director general of the communications regulatory authority of Mozambique. Mr. Apala, thank you very much for joining us. Perhaps you could tell us a little bit about what's been happening here in ITU Telecom World. So we are here with our pavilion at Mozambique. So we brought our startups from Mozambique with some solutions which is the local needs of Mozambique. The startups are coming here to share experience, to look for opportunities and to have an experience with other countries. So in terms of what we learned about it, this is a very important platform, a place to share experience. So we think that next year we'll join ITU Telecom again in Vietnam. And what's this experience been like for you and what does the feedback mean like? Yes, we like it. We like it. It was very important to be here with our team, with our staff. We learned so much and then we hope that we'll learn more on the next year. Great. So look, perhaps you could take us around a little bit. We're going to do a little whistle-stop tour now of all the SMEs. So let's have a little chat with them. So, hi. So what's your name and tell us a little bit about your project? My name is Tauan Deshari. I'm the founder of TABEC in Mozambique. Our project is a digital micro-insurance platform that offers insurance to rural-based clients who have no access to internet but they're using basic mobile phones with 65% penetration rate in our country. We decided that you can use mobile phones to actually reach those markets. So we offer insurance in the health and also funeral insurance by providing women health insurance for maternity, pre and post. And we also offer illness cover and also hospital cashback. Fantastic. And how's the feedback been? How have you been received here at ITU Telecom World? Here at ITU Telecom World we came with the view actually to get partnerships. So with what we are doing we actually found that there are so many people that can complement what we are doing instead of us developing the whole solution but we can actually partner with others that are here at ITU and so far we've actually managed to have three partners that are waiting for us to come and actually fit our product. Great. Well thank you very much for that and we wish you the very best of luck with your projects. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Okay. Now we're going to go over here now to see what's going on and I see some light bulbs. I see a television. I see a telephone. How do these all come together? So tell us your name and what you've got going on here. Hello. My name is Justin Singolan. I'm the CEO of Output Tech Solutions. I'm bringing here Shippewa. It's a device and software that allows you to control your electrical equipments worldwide with no internet. By using Shippewa we have benefits of using this app to reduce the power consumption up to 40% and you can control worldwide, as I said, with no internet. So you're using your application to control these light bulbs over here, to control the electricity going into a home. Is that right? Is this what the simulation is all about? Yes, it is all about. You can control the lamps, ACs, water heater, everything that works with electricity. Great. Well I could certainly do with that at home. Perhaps I could turn off the lights in my daughter's bedroom. That seemed to be taking up a lot of electricity. And how has it been going for you here? What kind of feedback have you had for you for this? It's going everything well. I make it to many contacts with too many companies that work with smart homes also. And yes, it's a very great and good opportunity to spend the business and to other people see what's going on in Africa also. Well thanks very much for that and wish you the very best of luck with your projects. Thank you. Let's move on a little bit here. So here we have somebody else and tell us your name, tell us what you've got, what products you've been promoting here. Hello my name is Luan Gagnu, I'm the co-founder of Millibrand Technologies and we are bringing a product, Bacela, that aims to improve the savings, citizen savings and improve the quality of life of the citizen of Mozambique. So how does it work exactly? You go to a store and you put the care codes and client valid and you have the discount. So it's a mobile application that gives permanent discounts up to 50% to its users in diverse establishments of diverse sectors like health, food, entertainment and many others. Great, so people can save a lot of money going to a store or to a place where they have this QR code displayed, is that right? Yes, you can save a lot of money assuming that our normal citizens have basic expenses of 500 dollars and our average discount is 20%. After one month he could save 100 dollars and after one year he could save 1200 dollars. So this is already in action in Maputo? Yes, we launch three months and we already have more than 150 establishments, we have more than a thousand active users, we made more than 300 purchases and we already won two prizes, one of them at the biggest technology fair in Mozambique. Wow, it's great and have you got anything else that you're displaying here that you're showing? No, we are showing only Bacela, that's why the regulator takes us from Mozambique to show our startup. But you've got other plans for the future to expand this and to take it to different places etc? Yes, at the moment we want to spend to all Mozambique and after this to Africa and maybe to the world, entire world. Great, okay, well we wish you the best of luck with that and thanks very much for explaining that to us. Okay, thank you very much. Great, okay, so who we got here? We've got somebody else here who's been displaying quite a lot of interesting applications, right? What have you got? Here I got Ubi, what Ubi is? Ubi is an innovative platform that connects people to their city. Ubi gives the information about all the city, where you can go to find what you need and where you can go to enjoy like the night. You can find all this information on one platform. It's just one click, you can see here the spots and where the spot you can like in here, bar, restaurants, something like that and you can get events too, culture events about our city. If you're in a hotel and you need to go out of hotel, you can see here where you can go to enjoy your night. And what problem is addressed? Lack of information on what is available in our city is spending like you don't have in one platform. So in this platform we aim to collect all the information and give for the people and promote and enhancing our culture and promote the business too. Fantastic, well that sounds formidable. Thank you very much indeed for that. That's great, well done and good luck with that. Okay, well finally I think we're going to the last one here. Tell us your name and tell us a little bit about your projects here. Hello, I'm Osvaldo and I'm representing which is a service that allows informal workers such as plumbers, capitals and painters to get access to job opportunities that, if well done, can help them getting hired by a company making these workers transition from the informal sector to the formal sector. Okay, can you show us a little bit about how the app works or how this whole thing works? A worker registers on the platform and then a potential client goes who for instance had a leak in their kitchen, goes on our website and searches for let's say a plumber and then sees the list of plumbers per province in Mozambique and then selects a city and then sees the list of available plumbers sorted by the rating. So he sees the top the best plumbers on top of the list and then he can call them and hire them directly and then after the work has been done the client can rate the worker. And who is rating these plumbers? How do we know that they're the best? The client who hired the service rates after the service has been completed rates the work in terms of time, price and quality. So I mean there are lots of platforms that rate workers etc. How does yours vary from those? What's your unique selling point? So one interesting thing about us is that we are catering specifically for Mozambique and African countries with a similar context. Where you don't have in Mozambique for instance, internet penetration is only of six percent and workers don't usually have enough purchasing power to acquire a smartphone. So we use USSD which is a technology that works without internet so the workers can actually register and offer their services without the need of a smartphone or internet access. And then the clients who have higher purchasing power can actually use their website or smartphone. So like the way we offer our service through differentiated channels according to connectivity is what differentiates us from our competition I would say. Excellent. What kind of feedback have you been getting here at ITU Telecom World? We have had interest from several international organizations on using especially our data because we have the most reliable information about the informal sector in the country. We have also found solutions that could complement our solution and that we would be interested in partnering with ITU. So has it been worth coming all the way here to Telecom World? Yeah, absolutely. We have met other companies that we would be interested in working with and that has been the most valuable thing I would say. We have also learned a lot from the experience shared by other SMAs. Well Oswald, thank you very much for joining us and letting us in a little bit on what's been going on in your days here at ITU Telecom World. We wish you the very best of the future. Well there you have it. So a little whistle-stop tour of all the SMEs here on the Mozambique stand and thank you for joining us and please tune in to the ITU YouTube channel where you'll see plenty more videos talking about ITU Telecom World but also all of our other technological interests as well. Thank you.
