Daniel David (media entrepreneur)

And he is one of the main voices of the region advocating for sustainable development, economic growth, innovation and the use of technology for the digital transformation of Africa.

[1] He began by working as a Physical Education teacher, but then he was seduced by South Africa's gold mines, like many other young people of his age, and left Mozambique.

In 2000, when he was 34 years old, he founded Independent Communication Society (SOICO, Ltd),[3] the first private media group in Mozambique to hold a television channel (Stv, 2002), a radio station (Sfm, 2004), a daily newspaper (O País, 2005)[4] and the international cable news channel STV Notícias (2014).

[5] In September 2009, he was the only Mozambican invited to be a member of the "Clinton Global Inniciative" meeting, the year after his biography appeared in the book "Africa Greatest Entrepreneurs", published by Moky Makura.

[7] In 2014 he launched the Mozambican Economic and Social Forum - MOZEFO, inaugurating a space of intersectoral and inter-generational dialogue that did not exist in the country until then.
