MSME Development Ecosystem Actors will gather together in Lagos on November 14, 2022 at an event themed – “Gaining Momentum through Partnerships”. The objective of the event is to create sustainable platforms for the ecosystem actors and their operations as well as creating benefits for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). A critical issue that will be discussed at the event is the appreciation of digitalizing solutions or services to the MSME space in Nigeria.
This event is scheduled for the 14th of November 2022 starting at 10.00 and ending at 15:00 at the NASSI Training Hall, 5 Surulere industrial avenue off Acme Road Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos.
Ecosystem actors who make up the organising committee for the event are : Hope Builders Foundation, NASSI,Web of Heart Foundation, Valucon, MSME Africa and NASME .
The speakers expected at the event are : Speakers: Oladoyin Olawaiye – GIZ-SEDIN/EEE, Peik Bruhns – GIZ/SEDIN-GOPA ,Solomon Aderoju- NASME, Uche Nwachukwu- Bank of Industry, Paul Arinze – Enterprise Hub, Abimbola Osuchukwu – Valucon, Teju Abisoye – LSETF and Ola Oladimeji – NASSI.
The MSME Development Ecosystem, knowing that the growth and development of MSMEs into sustainable businesses depends largely on the business environment they operate in, seeks to achieve this by ensuring that relevant ecosystem actors constantly engage and come up with suitable conditions for ease of doing business. Through the ICSS Entrepreneurship Development Program implemented by GOPA, the ecosystem is gradually building itself, taking ownership, understanding roles, whilst appreciating collaborative efforts as a means to achieving more.
The last MSME Development Ecosystem platform was held in September where actors were brought closer to the drivers of the ICSS – Trainers, Facilitators and Coaches (TFCs) specially to appreciate Aftercare Support Service being offered to the past beneficiaries while also meeting the need for continuous engagement.
