It is estimated that 70 to 80 per cent of new businesses end their operations in their first year. And of those that survive, only half will remain in business after five years. However, many of the hurdles and pitfalls a new entrepreneur faces can be avoided.
In this dynamic training programme, you will learn how to address these challenges. It focuses on the things entrepreneurs care most about, and that ultimately affect their bottom line: how to raise money, make money, save money and help others to do so.
Successful entrepreneurs will be invited to share their experiences, and give you tips on what you need to avoid mistakes they made, and what secrets underlie their accomplishments. Key government officials will explain what the challenges are in creating an environment in which entrepreneurs can flourish. You will meet actors from various agribusiness clusters, including representatives of financial institutes, business service providers and change facilitators. You will learn from the hands-on experience of the actors, and also enlarge the network that will help you build your own business.
