EMRC in collaboration with Entrepreneurial Solution Partners and the Strathmore University is announcing a call for action for Entrepreneurs from all over Africa to bring their projects, ideas and running businesses and to discuss them with experts during the 2017 edition of the Africa Finance & Investment Forum (AFIF) in Nairobi.
The event which is billed to take place from 13th to 16th February 2017 at Strathmore University will gather an audience of entrepreneurs, bankers, investors, fund managers, foundations, development and international finance institutions from Kenya, Africa, Europe, Middle East and America.
While speaking, one of the Session expert trainers and Manager at ESPartners. Yvette Ingabire said: “During the AFIF training session, entrepreneurs will be asked to “begin with why” i.e. going back to the basic question of Why their businesses exist.
We will then provide practical guidance that will allow entrepreneurs to unleash the potential of their ventures and realize their business ambitions. We will showcase key elements that make for a strong business proposition along with the main available sources of financing”
According to EMRC Managing Director, Idit Miller,“Over the past years, where we traveled through different countries in Sub-Saharan Africa with the mission to promote entrepreneurs, connect them to partners and investors, we’ve realized that accessing financing and presenting appealing projects is a major challenge
“That’s why we’ve initiated, among others, the “Africa Finance & Investment Forum” and that’s why a special training session was conceived as part of the AFIF platform along with the 10.000 USD AFIF – Rabobank Entrepreneurship Award,” she added.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation will be at the spotlight of the 2017 edition of the “Africa Finance & Investment Forum”.
