The programme is designed to identify and nurture promising talent from around the world, providing them with an in-depth understanding of the workings and challenges of international trade. Participants will have the opportunity to work on relevant projects, engage with experts from the WTO and other international organisations, and build a valuable network of contacts. For young Cape Verdeans, this means access to specialist knowledge that could be crucial to driving the country’s economic growth, diversifying its exports and strengthening its position on the global stage.
Participation in the WTO 2026 Young Talent Incubation Programme could bring tangible benefits for Cape Verde.

The programme offers a transformative experience that can shape careers and open doors to future opportunities, both nationally and internationally. By investing in its young people, Cape Verde will be investing in its own future, ensuring it has the human resources needed to navigate an ever-changing world and capitalise on emerging opportunities in global trade.
