The event talks about challenges facing job creation within SMMEs and the economy.
The 3rd Annual Africa Enterprise Development and Entrepreneurship Investment Agenda is happening in Johannesburg on 21 and 22 April this year. Attendees of the previous events gained much from the event:
“The conference was great. We discussed real challenges that we face in the enterprise development space and came up with strategies to respond to these.” - Catherine Wyjnberg, Director: Fetola
“The engagement was great and informative. I am hoping to bring my colleagues in the next Indaba.” - Moses Sereme, North West Development Corporation
“These forums are necessary especially due to the fact that Africa is faced with many challenges and we need such dialogues to come up with alternative solutions to these challenges.” - Chaba Mokuku, Ministry of Trade and Industry: Lesotho
Bigger and better in 2016
And this year the event is expected to offer even more insights and solutions to the challenges facing job creation in the context of Small, Medium and Micro-sized Enterprises (SMME) within the global economy.
The event is hosted by the Global Invest Group, an organisation which aims to bridge the gaps between the often uncoordinated or ineffective enterprise development and training initiatives available in South Africa.
Committed to working with governments, civil society and the private sector to promote investments that aid socio-economic development, the Global Invest Group hopes that the 2016 conference will strengthen partnerships, so that challenges facing existing initiatives can be overcome.
Key industry challenges will be discussed, along with innovative solutions and the appropriate tools needed to solve these issues.
