ABSA Ghana is gearing up to host its highly anticipated annual Inspire Me Conference 2023, bringing together women business entrepreneurs from across the African continent.
The conference, a key component of Absa’s women banking proposition, aims to support and empower women-owned businesses with value-added financial solutions to drive sustainable growth.
At the forefront of this year’s Inspire Me Conference is the accomplished Nigerian business entrepreneur, IbukunAwosika, Chair of The Chair Centre Group. Awosika’s inspiring journey and success in the business world make her a fitting keynote speaker for the event.
AbenaOsei-Poku, Managing Director of Absa Bank Ghana, commenting on the event, emphasised the significance of recognising the potential of women-led businesses.
“Women entrepreneurs are driving economic growth, fostering innovation, creating employment opportunities, and championing social change. They are the engines of progress, and their impact is felt far and wide,” she said.
Absa Ghana has long been committed to supporting women-led businesses, offering affordable financial solutions, and equipping them with the necessary skills and resources for success.
Recently, in collaboration with Mastercard Foundation, the bank introduced an SME Loan up to GH₵1 million at afavourable interest rate of 10 per cent for enterprises, including women-owned businesses, without the need for collateral.
The Inspire Me Conference will welcome a prestigious line-up of successful entrepreneurs, government representatives, regulators, Absa’s senior executives and managing directors from Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, and other key stakeholders, including Absa Ghana Board Chair Frances Adu-Mante.
