Start-up Data Boost: Unlocking MSME Growth Through Data [Webinar]
Join us online for the official launch of the Start-up Data Boost report, a groundbreaking initiative by Data for Change: The PARIS21 Foundation in partnership with BongoHive.
This webinar will unveil key findings on the challenges and opportunities surrounding data collection, analysis, and utilisation among Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Zambia.
Why This Matters:
MSMEs form the backbone of Zambia’s economy, contributing 70% of GDP and 88% of employment. Yet, their growth is hindered by limited access to reliable data and digital tools. Without strong data systems, MSMEs struggle to secure financing, track progress, and adapt to global challenges like climate change.
What You’ll Gain:
• Insights from the report on how data can drive MSME success
• The role of digital tools in creating sustainable and resilient businesses
• Actionable strategies to close the data gap and unlock growth opportunities
The report highlights the urgent need for data-driven solutions to foster MSME success, drive economic transformation, and strengthen Zambia’s role in the global market.
By bridging the digital divide and improving data literacy, MSMEs can harness AI and data-driven decision-making to build sustainable businesses and contribute to national and global development goals.
