Although this is a part of Alkatek's Internet Technologies service network, Wenze.com is a platform, which in its own has formed a complete division providing online and offline services such as corporate services, events, and government driven activities.

Background

Over the last 3 to 4 decades, there have been (and there still continues to be) numerous migrating activities where Africans have found their way out of the continent in pursuit of higher level of education and living standards. Many countries have experienced and continue to experience these life changing movements due to the poor or non-developing conditions of almost all parts of the African continent. Out of the many people that migrated out, most if not all of them settled down overseas where they started their own businesses and became involved in the social-economical and political affairs of their respective new countries.

The businesses that sprung out of the new African Diaspora provide lines of services that “only” Africans can better relate to (i.e. immigration services, translations, import/export, African music production & entertainment, telecommunication services via calling cards sale, exotic foods, foreign language press/media & magazine, online community services, etc.); thus, the creation of a whole new market that Alkatek's CEO, Mr. Alain Adunagow, calls “Corporate Africa”

In order to capture and control this arising new virtual market, Alkatek, Inc. has specifically created and designed (since March 1, 1999) a platform called “Wenze.com”, which stands for Market Place, where these African owned businesses can come together in a safe and trustworthy environment, for an annual membership fee, and bring about the awareness campaign of their businesses, services and products, thus generating business trades between themselves and anyone who wishes to do business with the African communities.

Concept, Purpose & Vision

Alain Adunagow's idea of Wenze.com is to create a voice for the African communities in the US and abroad that will help market Corporate Africa to Africa and to the corporate world – a two-phase fold unveiling this new virtual market to the world.

Phase 1 – Marketing “Corporate Africa” to Africa and Africans

Campaigning the idea of Wenze.com as the African Business Portal with the purpose of gaining commitment from the African Diaspora in order to create a voice for the African business community that will help gain efficiencies and capitalize on opportunities.

Phase 2 – Market “Corporate Africa” to the corporate world

With an established voice of the African Diaspora, buying power for all membership, and good synergy and team dynamics between Wenze.com and its memberships, we shall proceed to the next phase of the plan, leveraging:
 

§        Buying power to gain efficiencies for corporate services obtained from large businesses in the corporate world.

§        The voice of Corporate Africa to capitalize on opportunities and run government driven activities such as:

·         Touching African governments with projects where Alkatek, Inc. (via Wenze.com and its memberships) facilitates cooperation of “developed” countries in supporting business development of small and mid-sized businesses in Africa.
 

·         Lobbying for economic development and other non-developing factors in Africa through the United States.
 

·         Working with the African American Lobby to help create a voice that will help address current hidden and disregarded issues in African countries.
