MSMEs Ecosystem Event

 We are delighted to share the success of our recent event, which was graced by the esteemed presence of the Lagos General Manager of the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN). This event was a significant milestone focused on increasing access for MSMEs to federal government resources, with a particular emphasis on empowering female CEOs in our community.

The participation of the SMEDAN General Manager underscored the critical importance of this initiative. SMEDAN's longstanding commitment to providing support, training, and funding to MSMEs across Nigeria was evident, and their involvement provided attendees with invaluable insights and direct access to federal programs designed to enhance their business capabilities.




This event proved to be a unique platform for our MSMEs, especially those led by women, to gain the necessary tools and knowledge to overcome challenges, scale their operations, and significantly contribute to the economy. The guidance and support from SMEDAN were instrumental in equipping our female entrepreneurs to drive growth and innovation within their businesses.




We are grateful for the overwhelming participation and enthusiasm shown by our community. The success of this event marks a significant step forward in unlocking new opportunities and fostering the prosperity of female-led enterprises in our region. Together, we are building a stronger, more resilient business community.
