Project Description

Watch the inaugural Standard Bank Supplier Development Summit and Recognition Awards, where highlighted the positive influence of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across various sectors.

Embodying the theme “Rise Above the Noise,” the summit tackled the challenges faced by SMEs in a competitive marketplace with the aim to guide enterprises towards success.

The summit provided SMEs with valuable insights, networking opportunities, and access to resources that enabled them to overcome obstacles and capitalize on opportunities. We assembled industry leaders who shared knowledge to enable SMEs to navigate the business landscape with innovation and resilience.

The Awards took place after the summit where we celebrated extraordinary SMEs, disruptors, change makers, and leaders who excelled in the Standard Bank Supplier Development programme.
