Scaling creative and service-based businesses beyond local markets is one of the biggest challenges many African SMEs face. Not because of a lack of talent or demand, but because of gaps in structure, visibility, global positioning, and access to the right opportunities.

This is where the conversation shifts.

Dr. Princess Kelechi Oghene (@princess_oghene<\/a>\u00a0), Founder and Group Managing Director of GMYT Group Ltd., will be speaking at Africa Day 2026 on Scaling Africa\u2019s Creative and Service-Based SMEs into Global Businesses, sharing practical insights on how businesses can move from local success to global relevance.

With over 15 years of experience building and scaling purpose-driven institutions, she has empowered over 12,000 women and youth through GMYT Fashion Academy and continues to drive impact across education, enterprise, and leadership.

This is not just a panel. It is a chance to:
\u2022 Understand what holds creative and service businesses back from global growth
\u2022 Learn how to position your business for international opportunities
\u2022 Gain clarity on building systems that support scale beyond borders

Theme: Transforming Africa\u2019s Business Landscape

Date: Friday, 22nd May 2026
