LAGOS SMALL BUSINESS SUMMIT

 Every year SME100Africa organizes the Nigeria Small Business Summit in commiseration with the Global Entrepreneurship Week. The Nigeria small business and policy Summit brings together government leaders, private sector, academia, policy makers and small business owners; who are innovative game changers in their various sectors to discuss the impact of policies and factors that affect small and medium scale businesses in Nigeria.

The conversations of economic challenges faced locally, regionally, and nationally resonated with small business owners, managers and researchers alike and provided further evidence that the nation is attuned to the need for collaboration across, not just within, individual sectors in order to meet equitable development goals.
