Unveiling our 20th Anniversary Commemorative LogoDear ,To commemorate 20 years of enabling and empowering aspiring and emerging Nigerian entrepreneurs to start, grow and scale their businesses, I am excited to announce the unveiling of FATE Foundation's 20th Anniversary celebration logo today.Nigeria’s foremost enterprise development organisation was founded by Mr. Fola Adeola (Founder & Pioneer Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, GTBank) to harness the strong entrepreneurial culture of Nigerians by providing business incubation, growth enablement and accelerator support required to fully explore their innovative potential. Over the last two decades, we have and continue to fulfil our mission of fostering wealth creation by promoting business and entrepreneurial development among Nigerians. Through our flagship and short course programmes, we have reached over 180,000 aspiring and emerging Nigerian entrepreneurs who are spread across Nigeria creating jobs and adding value to the local and national economies. A significant number of these entrepreneurs are very active in the organisation’s vibrant Alumni community.  We have also published seven (7) research reports providing thought leadership on the Nigeria's micro, small and medium enterprises and the entrepreneurship ecosystem. These achievements would not have been possible without the unwavering support of Mr. Fola Adeola; past and current members of the Board; the active support of local and international partners; and over 1,500 industry leaders, experienced entrepreneurs who volunteer their time as facilitators, mentors and advisors to the organisation’s entrepreneurs.Over the coming weeks and months, we will be virtually celebrating our history, memories and highlights which will culminate in a weeklong celebration on the first week of December  including a high-level ecosystem design policy dialogue series, launch of entrepreneurship books and the signature Annual Celebration programme to graduate entrepreneurs enrolled in the year and award prizes to deserving volunteers and entrepreneurs. We will be sharing more details on these activities shortly.

20 years in, FATE Foundation has built an institutional legacy of enterprise development that has had and continues to have significant socio-economic impact for Nigerian entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurship ecosystem at large. For your support, dedication and commitment all through the years, we wish to say a big "Thank You" and look forward to celebrating our milestone year with you.
