Fidelity Bank to Host Lagos Business Forum on Sustainable Growth
Fidelity Bank Plc will host the Lagos edition of its Quarterly Business Forum, bringing together entrepreneurs, industry experts and other stakeholders to discuss ways to build competitive and sustainable businesses.
The forum, themed “Built to Compete: Positioning Lagos Businesses for Sustainable Growth,” will explore opportunities and challenges in Lagos’s business environment. Discussions will cover competitiveness, access to finance, market expansion, innovation, digital transformation and sustainable growth.
Ugochi E. Osinigwe, Divisional Head, SME Banking at Fidelity Bank Plc, said the forum would give the bank an opportunity to engage with entrepreneurs and better understand their needs.
“Businesses need more than capital to thrive. They require knowledge, structure, networks and the right strategies to compete and grow sustainably. Through the Quarterly Business Forum, we are creating a platform for entrepreneurs to learn from experienced business leaders, exchange insights and identify practical opportunities to strengthen their businesses.”
The forum builds on the bank’s SME-focused initiatives, which include masterclasses and advisory programmes on pricing, digital growth, business structure, trade and market expansion.
Established as a strategic engagement platform, the Quarterly Business Forum connects entrepreneurs, business leaders, policymakers and industry experts to share practical insights on business growth, innovation and sustainability. It reflects Fidelity Bank’s commitment to supporting SMEs through tailored financing, capacity building, advisory services and knowledge-sharing platforms.
