On the 29th of November 2016, the third edition of the annual Made in Nigeria conference and exhibition will take place in Lagos. The one-day event will hold at the Landmark Centre with the theme “Possibilities Made In Nigeria – A Re-direction towards Economic Growth, SME Advancement, and National Transformation.”
“We hope to capture the essence of the role MSMEs play towards economic growth and transformation, with a focus on the growing opportunities, possibilities and growth trajectory in the informal sector,” said Adedeji Alebiosu, Executive Director of the Made In Nigeria Project.
The event is aimed at redefining narratives about Nigeria’s current economic challenges. Speakers will debate on these challenges, which include SME advancement, national aspiration towards self-sufficiency, job creation & employment and diversification.
There will also be a practical exchange of ideas for the speakers and panelists as they discuss they following topics:
- Nigeria as she stands, the strength of her human capital
- The prospects of her quest towards self-sufficiency
- The opportunities that abound regardless of her present daunting economic challenges
The conference objectives will also focus on a national framework that will project ‘Made In Nigeria’ as the new economic frontier and provide a national development strategy for our short, medium and long-term plan for self-sufficiency, economic diversification, and an export driven economy with the focus on encouraging local production and consumption. The Made In Nigeria Conference and Exhibition will practically address the government’s role in the development and support of entrepreneurs, access to finance, taxation, ease of doing business, and human capital development for small and medium scale enterprises.
Our focus on the growth of micro-small and medium scale enterprises hinges on our position SMEs play towards every economy’s growth, which are cardinal to our national goal towards self-sufficiency,” said Mr Alebiosu.
Registration to attend is FREE.
