The Institute of Business Development, Nigeria (IBDN) has
said it will create a sustainable model for the continent by addressing
strategies for business development in Information and Communication Technology
(ICT), finance, agro-allied and aviation-related sectors,
ITRealms reports.
According toPaul Ikele, registrar/CEO
of the Institute, in the press release made available to
ITRealms,IBD
has concluded plans toassemble players in several sectors of the economy in
Africa at the upcoming International Business Development Week/Summit scheduled
to take place between July 23 and 24 this year at Sheraton Hotel, Lagos.
“Every year during the International BD Week/Summit, we celebrate
entrepreneurs, business giants, governments and some of Africa’s top brands
that come together to network,” Ikele disclosed even as he
further stated that participants will go home
each day with excitement and renewed energy,
ITRealms said.
It is expected that micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) owners will
most likely be the biggest beneficiaries. By definition, MSMEs are businesses
that have less than 200 employees or assets worth below $2.5 million about
N497.1 million. This places over 80 per cent of African businesses on this
class.
According to

organisers said attendance is open to all interested persons and organizations
in private and public sectors, as well as other key development professionals
such as chief executive officers, general managers, chief operating officer,
research and development managers, project managers and other business owners in

partnership in Africa, improving aviation infrastructure and employing ICT as a
tool of business development will be discussed.
