EDC's Global Entrepreneurship Week 2013

The Global Entrepreneurship Week has come and gone!
We hope you were able to participate in all our activities - we had one for practically every single day! And we had events in Port Harcourt and Abuja too!
Abuja, November 23rd - Walk with the CEO: entailed a fitness walk, from and to Millenium Park, then a small talk shop featuring top CEOs in the state, Mrs. M. Cardillo of Food and Foods Integrated Limited, makers of the popular Bon bread and Bon Cafe Ice Cream, and Mr. Ini Akpabio, MD of Nanet Group, the owners of the prestigious Nanet Suites, Abuja. See other pictures in our album for the event.






Lagos, November 22nd - Wealth and Wellness Fair: entailed a very interesting forum where we learnt about taking care of our bodies, and ensuring our health was optimum! We learnt about the signs to watch out for and not to wait till the last minute before seeking medical attention.
There were several stands by participating Health-aware food , beverage and medication entrepreneurs available and participants were encouraged to peruse them, after the forum.
A notable quote:
MY HEALTH, MY WEALTH
"You are what you eat. Eat with nutrition in your mind. Your body needs a nutritious diet. 
-It needs rest, find out time in your busy schedule to rest.
-Schedule exercise time, exercise helps your circulatory system, respiratory system and even your skin! Find how you enjoy exercise and do it! 
-Have annual checks! Routine check up helps " -Dr Eno Ata


Lagos, November 21st - Market Access Nigeria: was as interesting as the other Market Access Nigeria events held in Port Harcourt, and Abuja. Market Access is a great networking event hosted by the Enterprise Development Centre of the Pan- Atlantic University, Nigeria, to foster greater communication and enlightenment among stakeholders and experts in the business sector in Nigeria. As is our custom, there was the pitching session, the networking sessions, and of course, the giving of gifts by our sponsor, Etisalat Nigeria.
