Following the unprecedented challenges of 2020-2022, SMMEs will be critical drivers of economic recovery in 2023.
The SMME Roadshow has since its inception in 2014 supported small business by providing a platform to address issues that hinder small business growth and development such as funding and regulatory compliance.
To address the urgent need for SMME support, Global Africa Network initiated a highly successful virtual version of the SMME Roadshow in 2021. With over 1 800 online registrations, the Roadshow focused primarily on access to funding for small businesses, accessing markets, technology for small business, business training, and business support and assistance.
The 2023 SMME Virtual Roadshow, brought to you by Global Africa Network, will again take the form of presentations and collateral hosted on a custom platform. As such, the SMME Virtual Roadshow will be an important driver of economic growth and job creation in 2023.
