You need to promote your business, foster good relations and connect with people in both Canada and Nigeria. But resources are tight, the pandemic has shifted the business landscape and the usual vehicles aren’t available anymore.
Perhaps you’re looking to become more involved in community partnerships by partnering with worthwhile causes. It’s an industry-crossing trend – customers are increasingly curious about brand values and want to show their support through their patronage.
You’ve come to the right place. Established in 2016, the Nigerian and Canadian Business Network (NCBN) is the longest-standing and most established professional association for Nigerians and Canadians in all sectors. With more than 240 dedicated members, NCBN’s reach is growing due to virtual events – more people can participate from more locations. We have many exciting ways you can effectively reach a dedicated group of people across multiple industries in both the corporate and entrepreneurial worlds.
The many benefits of becoming a NCBN sponsor include:
Corporate social responsibility moves your company beyond typical marketing, with an elevated profile for a specific and timely purpose. Receive local visibility on a national and international priority – be seen within your industry and beyond as a responsive, action-oriented partner who chooses to make a difference with diversity and representation.
Build and deepen relationships among other leaders in Canada and Nigeria with continuous professional development for businesspeople. Connect with professionals and entrepreneurs including government ministers, journalists, emerging young leaders, academics, private sector executives, business owners, civil society leaders and heads of agencies from different industries.
With a focus on networking and empowerment, our events and programs feature the latest tools, resources and research to develop skills and knowledge for people in business—as well as highlighting and supporting local businesses within our membership. Our members are dedicated and known for supporting NCBN-related partners through direct engagement and referrals.
91% of global consumers are likely to switch brands to one associated with a good cause, given comparable price and quality. 82% of financial decisions are made by women, alone or as equal partners. Almost 66% of women say they are the primary breadwinner in their household. (Source: BMO Men in Wealth presentation, 2020.) It makes good business sense to partner with an organization devoted to developing bilateral relationship..
We are entrepreneurs, corporate professionals, decision-makers, leaders. We are inspiring businesspeople.
The NCBN serves as a vehicle for successful, dynamic and diverse businesspeople in both Nigeria and Canada to come together and collaborate while building professional and personal skills, inspiring others and giving back to their communities. The business networking opportunities alone are well worth the investment.
