SMEs’ Growth: Entrepreneur Harps On Networking, Partnership
An entreprenuer, Mr Isah Abdulrahman, says networking and partnership are key to the growth of new and small businesses.
He made this known yesterday in Abuja.
According to him, networking with other businesses that have the same focus enables startups to cross-fertilise ideas, share information and come up with better initiatives that can grow businesses.
Abdulrahman, also the Co-founder of Livebox Systems, providers of education and research resources in the country, said that “apart from making entrepreneurs have better focus and scope, networking helps young entrepreneurs to form strong partnerships that help to expand businesses.
He said: “So, I would advice young innovators not to sit in a corner and hold on to any little discovery they come up with.
“They should go out to seminars, conferences, symposiums, because such places were avenues to get
in touch with people who would know better.
“In terms of funding, networking and partnership makes it possible for people to easily get connected to people that are looking for businesses to invest in.’’
He, therefore, urged young people with initiatives to source for partnerships that would expand their scope through networking with people of like minds.
He explained that Livebox Systems was an initiative aimed at providing solution to education resources.
He said: “we understand that a lot of students and researchers in universities face challenges while accessing education materials because of internet and bandwidth charges.
“ We decided to come up with an e-library which offers over 35 million quality research materials in books, videos, audios, journals, audio news about education, as well as technical talks.
“So, we offer app services off-line: you don’t have to subscribe, it’s an off-line mode, you just load the files,
videos, read there if you want, with no internet connection.
“We also have a module where we have visual reality glasses where you can wear and see yourself via a classroom; you can attend to your lectures off-line.”
He said that the initiative came about because of challenges students faced in institutions where they
would want to study but had no money to buy data.
Abdulrahman, therefore, expressed hope for partnership with government agencies on education and
Ministry of Education to see to the advancement of the app.
