Abiforum Network holds maiden forum

ABIforum Network is set to organize the maiden Africa Business Innovation Forum 2021 (ABIFORUM2021). The Abiforum forms part of the series of activities outlined by the Abiforum Network to help businesses navigate their way and overcome the negative impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The overarching objective of the Forum is to broaden the horizon of the entrepreneurs as well as create a platform to inspire SMEs to be globally competitive.

The Chief Executive Officer of Abiforum Network, Mr. Precious Gyau, stated that the theme for the Forum: “Journey to a Sustainable Future; Building Resilient and Innovative SMEs for Economic Transformation” is apt since Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are now recovering from the COVID-19 Pandemic.

He added that for MSMEs to thrive and be globally competitive, staying resilient is the new standard for progress. This, he indicated can be achieved through the digitization of their business operations to access bigger markets, finance, and vital information.

The event is scheduled to take place at the Alisa Hotels, North Ridge in Accra on Thursday, 9th September 2021.

The event will be characterized by the following activities:

1. Exhibition & Product Sales
