The AccounTech SME Growth Lab is a strategic pillar of the AccounTech Summit International 2025. It is a dedicated platform for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to access business development support, grants, and growth opportunities.
The AccounTech SME Growth Lab includes workshops and/or panel sessions, live pitching sessions and networking with sponsors, investors, and corporate partners.
Primary Goals:
• Equip SMEs with knowledge, tools, and access to finance.
• Provide sponsors direct visibility and engagement with a high-volume SME audience.

Why this, Why now
Africa’s Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are the engines of economic growth, representing 90% of businesses and 50% of jobs across the continent. Yet, these SMEs face a $330 billion annual funding gap, lack of financial management skills, deficiency in modern finance skills and a critical need for digital skills and access to markets.
The AccounTech SME Growth Lab 2025 is the platform where Africa’s most promising SMEs will access the knowledge, funding, and partnerships they need to scale and where sponsors and investors will find the next generation of market leaders.

1. SME Business Workshops
• Practical sessions on finance, digital transformation, and growth strategies.
• Led by sponsor companies, business leaders, and experts.
2. SME Pitch Competition
