Established and emerging entrepreneurs, and business persons alike, will today converge at the President Hotel in Bloemfontein for the "I Am An Entrepreneur summit."


Leading business experts in various functions will share their expertise with those in attendance at the summit. The event, which is an annual one, is now in its fifth year running and runs nationally. 

Reiterating President Cyril Ramaphosa's recent calls to ensure that entrepreneurship is taught at schools as a subject, the founder of "I am Entrepreneur", Andile Khumalo, says he believes that entrepreneurship in South Africa should be taught as much as possible and that would be a step in the right direction.



Meanwhile, Khanya Okumu, Enterprise and Supplier Development Manager at Old Mutual, says Old Mutual has been a partner with the event since last year, and this will be their second year working with Khumalo on the national event. 

She adds that the reason why Old Mutual came on board was so that the businesses the company develops and supports through it's four funds that incubate businesses across various sectors in the country would also be able to benefit from the skills imparted in the summit.


 
The registration for the event started at 07h30 but the event will start at 09h00 to 17h00.  Entry is free.
