The top eight winners of the UT Bank and Enablis Bussiness LaunchPad competition for the best SME business plan have been named at a ceremony in Accra.
The final award ceremony was to celebrate the successful end of the second edition of the annual LaunchPad Competition in the country.
Country Director of Enablis Ghana, Shika Acolatse, highlighted the impact Enablis is making in Ghana and encouraged business organizations to incorporate SME development in their Corporate Social Responsibility policies and support them to contribute to the economic growth of Ghana through Enablis programs.
She explained the competition aims at creating a group of entrepreneurs who are inspired to create and expand their own business while encouraging participants to embrace innovation and creativity and to make their mark by turning their ideas into profitable businesses.
Deputy Managing Director of UT Bank, Pearl Esuah Mensah, cautioned the winners that “it is not enough winning the award and being hailed. It is about seeing to the birth of a dream and growing it beyond you”.
The overall winner, Linga Marful, swayed the judges with his practical business plan, SchoolChopBox.com.
