Vodafone Zambia Enterprise Director, Songezo Masiso says small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the lifeblood of the Zambian economy.
He says SMEs account for most of all businesses and employ more than two-thirds of all workers.
“Thus, it is integral to ensure they are ably equipped with the tools to excel and thrive in the digital economy, ” explains Mr Masiso.
During a one-day FNB Business Summit hosted by First National Bank (FNB) in Livingstone, Mr Masiso said technology is fast-tracking small businesses into the digital age by reducing the capital investment required to operate and allowing SMEs to compete with larger, more established, companies.
“At Vodafone, we understand this and are working closely with a number of SMEs to bridge the technology and connectivity gap,” he said.
He emphasized that SMEs must adopt and deploy technology-related business solutions if they are to remain competitive and relevant in Zambia’s growing digital and connected economy.
The forum aimed at challenging Zambian SME executives to dream big and grow their businesses into global giants.
