EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We are delighted to introduce to you our novel awards scheme: The Africa SME Conference and Awards 2024
The Business Executive Media Group is currently in the process of organizing the first ever pan African awards scheme for Small & Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs). The aim of the awards scheme and the accompanying pan African conference is to identify and publicly recognize SMEs all around the continent whose competencies, performance and conduct are exemplary and whose potentials for corporate growth and contributions to the socio-economic fortunes of their sovereign host jurisdictions and/or wider sub regional and pan continental economies stand out as exceptional.
The conference will provide a platform for the owners, shareholders and managers of identified exceptional African SMEs to network, exchange expertize and experiences and forge business relationships and alliances with each other towards the creation and sustenance of pan continental supply chains, while creating the opportunity to create and exploit new product/service markets and sources of production inputs. It will be interactive with contributions guided by presentations delivered by carefully selected experts in each aspect of SME activity management .

As part of our wider efforts in these areas we organize and host award schemes which identify and publicly recognize exemplary performance and conduct by individuals, private enterprises and public institutions. Our award schemes cover a variety of areas of activity, primarily business, trade, investment and socio-economic development related. Some cover a particular country, such as our Most Respected CEOs Awards, conducted in both Nigeria and Ghana as well as our Business Executive Excellence Awards; others cover a sub region such as the ECOWAS SME Awards, done in collaboration with the ECOWAS Commission, while yet others are Pan African such as the Africa’s Most Respected CEOs Awards and the African – Global Trade and Investment Awards.
