Africa Business Communities launches Africa Networking Events

Africa Business Communities connects African Business Professionals with each other. We have built online B2B communities with more than 1 million African Professionals (LinkedIn groups). As everywhere, online match making is useful, but the real live handshake makes the business energy flowing. One cannot live without the other, the efficiency of the online environment with the right feeling of the offline meeting. The emphasis of Africa Networking Events is on the live meeting and networking of the fellow executives, entrepreneurs, business owners or any other person that is commercially interesting to meet. Less powerpoints, more networking, that is our philosophy. Business meets business, especially for the smaller and medium sized businesses engaged in Africa.

We want SME’s (Smal and Medium Enterprises) to feel welcome and supported in their business contacts. There is abundant economical evidence that approximately 90% of the new jobs are created by SME’s. In the emerging countries even more. Easy access to their fellow entrepreneurs and business leaders, exchange of knowledge and contacts will help them to grow and as such to create the back bone for jobs growth.

Our online communities of more than 1,000,000 professionals engaged in business in Africa, expressed the need of an offline set-up of connecting with other business professionals.  Africa Business Communities started Africa Networking Events and invites local hosts to cooperate in order to grow to:

• an informal networking event in every major African city
• a networking event in every place in the world where investments and African business find each other in the best way
• the situation that every SME in Africa feels to get the chance to get connected with other business professionals

 

We start with two events in Lagos and Accra, many more to follow.
