Phase3 Telecom, West Africa’s largest independent fibre optic infrastructure, connectivity solution and telecommunications service provider, joins in offering grant support to recipients of the first edition of  “Glocalization and Branding Summit” orgarnized by Vivacity PR in Abuja.

The initiative which centers on promoting and providing support for private enterprise growth, budding entrepreneurs and start-ups through local creativity and personal branding; offers a lineup of training/workshops, facilitation, networking, development and financing programs to lucky recipients who are looking to enter into global markets.

Oluwakemi Ann-Melody Areola, founder and  chief  executive officer at Vivacity PR also states that the event which “has an impressive number of 900 registered participating government institutes, big corporates, MSMEs and individuals will bring together global and local brands to explore areas of synergy, discuss financial options, impacts of technology and social media on branding as well as the techniques that would make their products/service offerings stand out and generate projected revenues”.

According to Stanley Jegede, chief executive officer, Phase3 Telecom, the firm’s support of the initiative, rides on a key corporate social responsibility goal to build a credible portfolio of technology driven or related  grant support programs that are measurable, impact driven, sustainable and do have transformational effects on the livelihood of Nigerians especially youths.
