The SME Economy Conference – Focus On Innovation

As the summer of 2016 winds down, Emvirtue will debut its SME ECONOMY CONFERENCE/Exhibition on the 17th of September. Themed, “Impact For Nation Building “. The exhibition part of the conference will be the biggest SME focused exhibition in 2016.

The SME ECONOMY Conference has been designed to focus on Innovation with100 exhibition spaces for SMEs with creative and innovative products and services. This has been deliberately focused because of the believe by the organizers that Africa will only emerge from its third world status through the oxygenization of young business startups and entrepreneurs to create innovation.
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.

The Nigerian Entertainment Industry presents Health Insurance Convention

Good move! The Nigerian Entertainment Industry in partnership with the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Lagos State Ministry of Health and Nigeria Medical Association are organizing a Health Insurance Convention. It is billed to hold on July 22nd, 2014 at the Grand Ball Room of Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos.
According to organizers, the awareness and knowledge of health insurance among the practitioners of the Nigerian entertainment industry has become imperative. Due to the absence of it, the industry has lost several of its well loved musicians and actors to dreadful sicknesses like renal failure, fatal accidents and other vices while trying to raise funds. This has however necessitated the need for a well structured health insurance policy and cover for the entertainment industry.

The Nigerian Entertainment Industry Health Insurance Convention is designed as a customized learning and education platform for the practitioners of the entertainment industry and invariably members of the public at large to understand the importance of health insurance and at the same time embrace it.

The convention seeks to create special insurance covers and policies for the practitioners of the entertainment industry. Also, to illuminate complex issues of health care practice and policy by bringing together leading-edge doers and thinkers – from operations to academia, from clinical practice to corporate management. The convention delineates perspectives of stakeholders throughout the healthcare community in addressing broad issues and the type of health insurance to go for.
Topics to be discussed at the convention are; The health implications of celebrity life styles, Benefits of Health Insurance Policies, Health Insurance Policy …at what cost?, The health insurance policy…how dependable? and The Role of Government in Health Insurance Policies to mention a few.
It is absolutely very sad seeing our entertainers beg for money from fans and government alike when they are down with life threatening ailments. Other professionals suffer similar fates and sometimes they cannot afford treatment but they seldom embark on aggressive media campaigns of such magnitudes like their entertainment counterparts. This has however resulted to a big shame and public ridicule.
