The Genesis: GEDP is Born
Creation of the Entrepreneurship and Personal Development Group (GEDP),
driven by an ambitious vision: making entrepreneurship the engine of economic growth
in Africa and a bulwark against youth unemployment. At the heart of this ambition lies the promotion
of excellence and the conviction that action must begin at the grassroots level, by training high school students
before they even graduate.

GEDP in Action: Thousands of Young People Supported
GEDP deploys its dual mission through two complementary branches:
GEDP Training organizes conferences on entrepreneurship and personal
development to raise awareness among youth, while GEDP Business enables graduates
to find practical internships or launch their own entrepreneurial projects.
A comprehensive approach that has supported thousands of young people from high school through their professional lives.

Intercontinental Expertise
The founder, now an intercontinental practitioner, enriches his expertise
through engagements in Africa and Europe (France and Luxembourg). This period forges
the triple competency that defines TECO's signature today: mastery of the African market,
European rigor, and international standards. Over 1,000 people trained and 50 companies
supported testify to the relevance of this approach.
Today
An Expanded Horizon Towards Europe
Thanks to the founder's intercontinental experience, TECO now opens its horizon
to European countries. From training Beninese high school students to audit engagements
in Europe, our journey embodies a vision made reality:
excellence knows no borders. Our mission remains unchanged since 2013:
to train, support, and help talents grow, wherever they may be.
