It is a most exciting time to be an entrepreneur, but also a most demanding one!
As the world continues to evolve into a marketplace with disruptions driven by technology and changing consumer preference, businesses must possess the combined skills of Innovation, Agility and Speed to remain relevant. Building these internal capacities is now a needed resource, not just a strategy.
Ayzer Centre for Entrepreneurship focuses on partnering with small and medium enterprises in building “Future-Ready” ventures by providing business support services as an enabler to develop internal competencies. We are committed to accelerating wealth-building in Africa by driving the growth of sustainable enterprises that will attract investment, global markets and partnerships. Through our ecosystem that leverages the value of “Community”, businesses at each growth stage can access tools and resources needed for development.
We commit to operating an organization driven by ethics, innovation, value-creation and accountability. Our values shape our activities ensuring we create a positive social impact.
Building ventures that create value to their stakeholders and themselves is the key to accelerating wealth growth in Africa. In driving our mission to see the proliferation of more sustainable enterprises, we offer services needed by business across the developmental stages of their business lifecycle.
Our services are grouped in three (3) broad activities:
Our range of programs focus on equipping entrepreneurs and their teams with the knowledge and skillset needed for enterprises management.
