Invitation
Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) Round Table: ecosystem dialogue to support new collaborations, showcase effective models and leverage ESD for small business recovery from COVID-19.
Now more than ever, Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) is a critical arena for developing the capacity of small enterprises to access industry supply chains and become sustainable through ascending a “supplier staircase” with the necessary support But a number of questions still arise.
Are there sufficient strategic linkages between government and the private sector? Does ESD need to deliver more geo-specific “opportunity localisation”? Should companies fund third-party ESD programmes or focus more on driving greater procurement from SMEs to support recovery from COVID-19’s impact?
WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
- Be part of a vibrant discussion between a diverse range of ESD role-players
