Lagos, Nigeria, 4 October 2017 – The Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF), Africa’s largest philanthropy focused on supporting entrepreneurship, today announced that the 3rd annual TEF Entrepreneurship Forum – the most inclusive gathering of African SMEs – will take place on October 13-14 in Lagos. Since launching the TEF Entrepreneurship Programme – and committing $100 million to empowering 10,000 African entrepreneurs in a decade – we have unleashed our continent’s most potent development force – its entrepreneurs,” said TEF Founder Tony O. Elumelu, CON. “In just 3 years, our 3,000 entrepreneurs have created tens of thousands of jobs and generated considerable wealth. In doing so, we are allowing disparate SME communities to come together and expand the possibilities for intra-African partnerships. The Foundation’s long-term investment in empowering African entrepreneurs is emblematic of Tony Elumelu’s philosophy of Africapitalism, which positions Africa’s private sector, and most importantly its entrepreneurs, as the catalysts for the social and economic development of the continent(Visited 13 times, 11 visits today)Commentscomments
