CONNECT SESSION WITH ACCENTURE

On the 12th of February 2016, WEConnect International in South Africa in partnership with corporate member Accenture had a connect session hosted by Accenture at their office in Cape Town. Enterprise and Supplier Development lead for Accenture Zandile Njamela led the session with 22 eager women business owners from Cape Town.

Zandile emphasized the importance of working together as women business owners and explained that WEConnect International is not just about connecting women with Corporate Members, but it’s also about connecting women business owners and creating an environment where women buy from one another. She also emphasized that women with small businesses should form collaborations and approach the bigger corporate members for contracts. In closing her address Zandile stressed the importance of certification, especially since Accenture is keen on working with women-owned businesses, namely certified women’s business enterprises.
