A thought-leading event exploring the growing and increasingly interconnected ecosystem supporting the digital transformation of small and local businesses in sub-Saharan Africa.
Why attend the BigFive Summit?
To learn about the growing and increasingly interconnected ecosystem enabling the digital transformation of small and local businesses in Sub-Saharan Africa. And to make connections that will lead to the partnerships that will help this space grow and prosper.
What do we mean when we say “small and local” businesses?
Why BigFive Digital?
BigFive Digital is an event and content organization fostering the development of the local and SME digital technology ecosystem in Africa and the Middle East. BigFive does this via in-person and virtual events, and through thought-leading content that includes the popular BIG5D Podcast, newsletter, and original research.
The role of small business at the BigFive Summit
While BigFive Digital events are primarily designed for the ecosystem building tools for Africa-Middle East small businesses, we have always involved SMEs directly in our events. And we intend to increase that involvement in the future.
For example, the BigFive Summit will encourage its sponsoring organizations to invite small business operators that they are in business with, or whom they are currently prospecting, to attend this event as their guests. This will give everyone in the room some perspective on the everyday realities small businesses face. And hopefully will inform our sponsors’ and delegates’ current and future thinking around how digital solutions are designed and delivered.
