Ronke Kehinde/

Birthing Purpose, a globally positioned social enterprise has announced the launch of its pioneer entrepreneurship series called “The Business of Purpose”.

The Business of Purpose Series is organising the pioneer meeting; an event titled “Building a Purpose-Driven Enterprise” coming up on Saturday, May 25, 2019.

According to a statement from the organisers, the event is a premiere in its purpose-igniting entrepreneurship series; serving as a platform for personal capacity development and empowerment of young entrepreneurs to create and transform their existing businesses to purpose-driven (social) enterprises that are profitable and positively impact their local communities.

The Business for Purpose Series offers a rare opportunity for learning from experts, networking with SME support entities including government bodies, financial institutions, accelerators, incubators as well as acquaintance with real, after-the-event facilitating programs geared towards advancing and reinforcing required skills for successfully operating sustainable for-profit enterprises.

The event also offers an extensive and holistic experience which aims to highlight the benefits of operating a purpose-driven business instead of the usual run-of-the-mill traditional enterprise. Esteemed speakers include Dr Seye Kehinde, Ade Adeyemi, Tessy Zidon Peters, Adetola Okanlawon (MBA-IT), Olawunmi Ogunde.

Tobi Odukoya, CEO of Birthing Purpose said: “I truly believe that creating a social enterprise as a business model is the key to making a world standard sustainable business that can become a legacy in its own right because every single universal law in existence favours giving as the centre and driver of change, reward, growth and development. Most world-changing innovations that have become multi-billion dollar products and services stemmed from wanting to solve a problem, and creating a solution that meets that specific need; that way many lives are touched by that single product or service.”

The event, which will cater for 150 passionate and budding entrepreneurs, would be held in Elohim Tabernacle, 10b Ibrahim Odofin Street, Idado Estate,  Lekki, from 11 am to 4 pm.

Birthing Purpose is multifaceted initiative created to aid people to explore and understand purpose as well attain the skill and know-how to building capacity and be empowered to prosper in the specific area and design for each life.
