“We at the CEOs chamber with the objective of continuing to build the capacity of SMEs are saying that if you have a sector that contributes about 70% of the country’s GDP and a sector that constitutes about 92% of operational businesses and the corporate governance and leadership issues are not given attention, how do these organisations scale up, hence the theme for the second Ghana SME CEO summit.”

According to him, young CEOs and entrepreneurs will be better equipped with strategic leadership capabilities for the business environment. Through Key Note Speakers, lectures and discussions, he said participants will enhance their understanding of the impact of Corporate Governance, Leadership and Digital Technology on SME businesses.



Yeo Ziobeieton, who is Managing Director of Unilever Ghana on his part said “The country’s economic growth is certainly tied to the future and the fortune of leaders of SMEs” for which reason the summit is very critical. He further urged all stakeholders and young CEOs to patronize the event and participate.

“I would like to invite us all to participate massively in the 2nd edition of the Ghana SME and young CEO Summit,” he added.
