    Senior industry leaders will share their insights

    Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a major role in most economies, they are particularly pivotal to Africa’s rising economic growth -- encompassing over 95 percent of the firms on the continent.

     After facing unprecedented changes in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, SMEs are even more resilient and optimistic about the growth that lies ahead. Unlocking the region’s growth potential will require bridging the credit gap, strengthening SME value chains and boosting productivity via digitisation and technology adoption.

     The Financial Times partnered with Mastercard to present Unlocking SME Growth in Africa, a virtual webinar bringing key stakeholders from the private and public sector together to explore the state of SME competitiveness in Africa and how to maintain and grow business in the current climate.
