South Africa,17 April 2015,-/African
Media Agency (AMA)/-The International Network for Small and Medium
Enterprises (INSME) Annual Meeting and Forum, which is taking place at
the Cape Town International Convention Centre from 26 - 28 May,
is set to advance local enterprise development. This is the first time
that this event will be held on the African continent.
Local
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) will have the opportunity to access a
wealth of international knowledge and expertise and engage with
industry leaders from around the world at this event, which will be
managed by MCI South Africa, event and conference management
specialists.
According to MCI South Africa, Managing Director,
Rashid Toefy the INSME Annual Meeting & Forum brings together
leading global experts in the field of SME innovation and technology
commercialisation for mutual learning and networking. The event will
focus on the role and importance of technology-driven entrepreneurship
and innovation in fostering small business efficiency, competitiveness
and growth.
"This will be a unique opportunity for South
Africans to learn from some of the leading practices globally and for
international practitioners to gain exposure to and learn from South
African and African practices," says Toefy.
Concurrent to the
international event, MCI will also be hosting a local 2015 Forging
Enterprise Conference in collaboration with various partners in the
government and corporate sector such as Osiba Management, Economic
Development Partnership, Department of Small Business Development,
Silicon Cape Initiative and Africa.com to name a few. "This unique event
which will boast a small business exhibition component will showcase
the latest trends and developments in enterprise development in South
Africa and provide a platform for local enterprises to connect and
engage with their international counterparts and to forge new business
relationships across borders", he adds.
"We are excited to be
the event partner for both these prestigious events, which speaks
directly to our core mandate of bringing people together through
innovative meetings, events, and conferences", says Toefy. One of
MCI's areas of expertise is having the ability to facilitate and
organise an event that encourages active engagement and participation
across all event audiences. "The success of an event or conference
should not be gauged on how many people attend the event but rather on
how many people actively engage with the content", says Toefy.
"Through
hosting these events we have the ability to shape the business
conversations that are taking place on the African continent and to make
a meaningful impact on effecting change and advancing economic growth
in key sectors", he concludes.
