The goal is to provide a significant platform where African entrepreneurs can be empowered to up-scale their operations, expand income generation channels, get trained, get mentored and get out of poverty. We will provide a platform for knowledge sharing and networking, bringing together reputable companies and brilliant minds which are set to transform lives in Nigeria, Africa and the world at large.
Nigeria has to be the country to lead the #InnovateAfica campaign for all of the reasons that have become obvious even to the blind. It is based on that knowledge that Emvirtue is leading the advocacy to empower entrepreneurs through Government Intervention, Private Sector Participation, and Media Engagement.

The SME ECONOMY CONFERENCE/Exhibition intends to shoot out these three gaps and help create a system that works. Entrepreneurs can very well take advantage of this platform and get out there to the big market.
