Fidelity Bank has officially introduced a new physical facility designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs in the creative industry.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the bank announced that the facility, named the Fidelity SME Hub, will include training halls, meeting rooms, networking areas, and podcast studios, along with dedicated spaces for music, photography, and content production.
“For nearly 40 years, Fidelity Bank has been a leader in empowering small businesses to reach their full potential and contribute to the nation’s economy. Throughout this journey, we have come to understand that SMEs need more than just financial support. This insight has driven us to develop various non-financial initiatives aimed at assisting this vital sector,” said Dr. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Fidelity Bank Plc, during a recent discussion with journalists.
“The Fidelity SME Hub represents our newest non-financial initiative aimed at promoting the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This facility is designed to encourage innovation, collaboration, and capacity-building—essential components for enhancing Nigeria’s SME ecosystem and stimulating economic development,” he stated.
“Situated in Lagos, the Fidelity SME Hub will offer entrepreneurs opportunities for networking and stakeholder engagement, along with access to industry experts and mentors who can provide practical guidance and business advice.
Additionally, the bank has announced the introduction of specialized courses to be held at the SME Hub, covering topics such as Financial Management & Investment Readiness, Digital Transformation & Technology Adoption, Marketing, Branding, and Business Growth Strategies.”
