The Made In Nigeria Project.

We are pleased to announce the sixth edition of the Made In Nigeria SMEs Conference & Exhibition themed; “Strengthening MSMEs for inclusive growth & productivity.”

This edition will pragmatically address Government’s role in the development and support of MSMEs and will convene national & global policy makers, business leaders, development partners and key stakeholders that will lead and participate in sessions that focuses on building strategic partnerships & cooperation between government, MSMEs, startups, the private sector to strengthen MSMEs for inclusive growth & productivity. At , we shall highlight and discuss challenges, opportunities & policies implementation and propose a framework that sustains our subnational competitiveness for MSME growth and investment attraction. Key focus areas for discussion will be access to finance, ease of doing business, taxation, given the recent national tax reform; access to markets with emphasis on state-driven initiatives.

We have partnered with public regulators and the organised private sector to ensure that MSMEs in the country are bankable and viable enough to access the Federal & State Government’s and private sector floated MSMEs funds as well as private startup capital from relevant stakeholders. Our platform seeks to entrench MSMEs as a central part of national policy and ensuring that SMEs who we recognise as national assets are empowered by this edition.

Attendance is FREE but on a registration basis.

As we mark the International MSMEs day, We join the rest of the world to recognize and celebrate the over 40 million MSMEs that exist in Nigeria, employing over 80 percent of the country’s population and contributing about 50 percent to our GDP. We remain committed to entrenching SMEs as a central part of national policy.

From all of us at the Made in Nigeria Project, Happy
