Impact thesis
The SME sector is very poorly developed in developing countries, particularly in Africa. The development of SMEs is constrained by a lack of capital, management culture and administrative methodology.
In this context Labadens proposes equity investments to finance and support the development and/or buyout of successful SMEs, with active an innovative management.
Labadens secured grant funding to develop methods to measure social and environmental impacts in the French-speaking, African context. This development work seeks to integrate SME operational performance objectives within impact assessments, and the industrialization of impact measurement tools, integrated to software expert systems deployed at the SME level.
