TheHUB™
Training. Fellowship. Mentorship
TheHUB™, a flagship initiative, created by BAYI Foundation provides business education, training and skills development to enterprises globally. Our mission is to channel catalytic financing and deploy expertise to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to support wealth creation and sustainable development.
TheHUB™ is designed to support the strategic growth of SMEs by focusing on gaps in the necessary resources to attract external growth capital.
SMEs account for the majority of businesses worldwide and are important contributors to global economic development. They represent about 90% of businesses and more than 50% of employment worldwide in developing markets. SMEs create seven out of ten formal jobs.
