Lagos Empowers Over 700 Entrepreneurs at SME Bootcamp

The Lagos Small and Medium Enterprise Bootcamp empowered over 700 small business owners in its eighth edition, addressing challenges such as funding gaps, intellectual property protection, and brand visibility. Small and medium enterprises contribute significantly to Nigeria's gross domestic product and employment but face obstacles like access to capital and legal support. Key speakers emphasized the importance of legal documentation in securing business assets. The event included sessions on business model evolution and featured an exhibition and pitch competition with grants for entrepreneurs.
