Telecel Ghana has launched the 8th edition of its annual flagship Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Month, reinforcing its commitment to supporting the growth and sustainability of small and medium enterprises across the country.

Under the theme, ‘Connecting the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs,’ the telco is dedicating the month of September to equipping youth-led businesses with the right tools, networks, and opportunities to grow.

“At Telecel, we believe the future of Ghana’s economy lies in the hands of young business leaders who are harnessing technology, fresh ideas, and innovative models to solve real challenges.

"SME Month 2025 is designed to provide platforms, networks, and opportunities that enable them to scale,” said Tawa Bolarin, Director of Enterprise Business and Wholesale at Telecel Ghana.

Since its inception in 2017, Telecel Ghana’s SME Month has provided a dedicated platform for capacity-building, networking, market visibility for SMEs, and knowledge sharing, to enable entrepreneurs to leverage connectivity and digital solutions to grow and remain competitive.

Speaking at this year’s SME Month 2025 launch, young media entrepreneur and co-founder of Stay by Plan Media, Zuu Gbedemah, said the SME products and engagements will help young entrepreneurs significantly.

“It’s not easy running a business in Ghana, so I’m glad that Telecel has created packages to ease our burden. As a digital media entrepreneur, internet is the bedrock of our business so having affordable connectivity packages is extremely helpful,” Zuu said.

Now in its 8th year, SME Month has become a national platform for SME visibility and growth.
