SMB Growth, Learning & Networking

A series of experiences for SMBs

SMBs have been an essential sector in influencing the region's business landscape. Due to this, we continually strive to support them in every way possible. This sentiment set the origin of SMB events, a collection of live events, webinars, strategy-led talk series, and so much more to honor, support, guide, and encourage these crucial pillars.

Digital Academy

Comprising of two key pillars being SMB Webinars and SMB Talks, Etisalat's Digital Academy is designed to be a collaborative hub of expert business knowledge and shared experiences.
