Access Bank has scheduled its first-ever MSME Conference for Friday, July 24, 2026, held at the company’s headquarters in Victoria Island, Lagos. The event, titled “AI for SMEs: Scaling Through Digital Tools,” aims to connect entrepreneurs, policymakers, and tech specialists to discuss how artificial intelligence can foster growth for Nigerian micro, small, and medium enterprises.
Attendees can expect a series of presentations and panel discussions involving major stakeholders such as the Presidency on Entrepreneurship Development, MasterCard, Huawei, the World Trade Center Lagos, Dataleum, and Aktivate Labs. These discussions are intended to offer actionable strategies for digital transition and long-term business sustainability.
A major focus of the day is the unveiling of the new Access SME App. This digital interface combines financial and operational management tools to help entrepreneurs streamline their workflows. Abiodun Olubitan, Group Head of SME Banking at Access Bank, noted that the institution is dedicated to providing small business owners with the necessary resources to compete effectively in the modern economy. By offering both educational sessions and a functional digital tool, the bank seeks to overcome common hurdles such as insufficient funding and low digital engagement among local firms.
