Mbabane – In an exciting collaboration aimed at boosting Eswatini’s small business landscape, the Small Enterprises Development Company (SEDCO) recently concluded a transformative five-week engagement with Mr. Erik Azulay, a Fulbright Specialist from the United States. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enrich the country’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and foster a new wave of innovation and growth among local enterprises.
Mr. Azulay’s visit was not just a routine consultation; it was an extensive review of SEDCO’s incubation programme, where he meticulously compared their services with international benchmarks.

By focusing on these vital areas, the initiative seeks not only to empower current entrepreneurs but also to inspire future business leaders in Eswatini.
During his time at SEDCO’s headquarters in Mbabane, Mr. Azulay engaged with programme managers, hosted workshops, and consulted with a diverse range of local entrepreneurs. These interactions were pivotal in identifying the unique challenges that small businesses face in the region. Moreover, through collaborative dialogue, strategies were developed to tailor SEDCO’s support services, making them more accessible and impactful for aspiring business owners.

With this program, they aim to cultivate a nurturing landscape for entrepreneurship, one that not only supports existing businesses but also encourages innovation and resilience in the face of global economic changes.
The initiative reflects Eswatini’s commitment to enhancing its entrepreneurial framework, thereby establishing itself as a hub for innovation and business dynamism in the Southern African region. By investing in mentorship, education, and strategic planning, SEDCO is setting the stage for a robust economic future.
