“The SME Accelerator is a platform we’ve developed to transform Ghana’s small and medium enterprises by equipping them with the digital tools and skills they need to scale,” he said.
He said the company identified major gaps last year through our research, especially in digitization, capacity building, and financial access, hence this year its focus is to find solutions to them.
The program includes access to a range of tailored MTN business solutions such as “MTN MyBusiness,” “YellowBiz,” and the SME Mate platform, as well as unified communications and digital tools to improve efficiency and market reach.
He said that MTN teams across the country will support SMEs in accessing and using these resources.
According to Mr. Abubakari, the accelerator will span sectors including agriculture, services, manufacturing, and more. It is open to all MTN SME customers and is available nationwide.
“The initiative is part of MTN’s broader commitment to empower Ghanaian businesses and help them thrive in an increasingly digital economy,” he added.
Interested businesses can apply through MTN’s USSD codes or designated online portals. The program is expected to expand after the first year based on feedback and impact assessments.
