Congress Centre, Building Resilience: Financing Local Economies


Engage Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are a vital engine of growth, employment and resilience
but are systematically constrained by a lack of access to sufficient financing. In Africa alone
they make up more than 90% of businesses, 80% of the workforce and up to 70% of GDP, yet
in some countries they receive only 10% of commercial financing. Social enterprises, while
being a relatively small subset of such SMEs, are a segment of increasing importance due to
their role in actively developing solutions for the most pressing social challenges. This session
will explore potential pathways and collaborative financing opportunities to catalyse local and
global capital for SMEs and social enterprises. It will explore the complimentary roles that global
capital players and local intermediaries can play in driving systematic changes to address

collaborate in identifying and implementing new pathways to catalyse global and local capital for
SMEs and social enterprises.
