The Benue Digital Infrastructure Company (BDIC) and Africa Digital Infrastructure Company Ltd (AfDIC) through the AfDIC/BDIC Academy, have successfully concluded its intensive Startup Activation Training Program aimed at equipping aspiring entrepreneurs with the skills to build sustainable businesses and compete globally.
Held in a hybrid format, the program recorded impressive participation and strong positive feedback, confirming its impact and relevance for emerging founders.
The training delivered practical, hands-on sessions covering key areas essential for business growth. Participants learned how to identify and validate business opportunities, adopt an entrepreneurial mindset, leverage artificial intelligence for productivity, and apply simple bookkeeping and money management principles.
The program also provided guidance on legal compliance, business registration, taxation, intellectual property, and effective prospecting, selling, and pitching techniques, which are skills crucial for grant competitions and investor engagement.
A major highlight was the distribution of the AfDIC/BDIC Academy’s Bankable Business Plan Workbook, a practical tool designed to help entrepreneurs document ideas, conduct market research, plan finances, and prepare investor-ready business plans. Many participants described the workbook as an essential guide that demystified complex business development processes and strengthened their readiness to launch or scale their ventures.
