Growing a business is one thing, but once a business model has proven successful, the next challenge is scaling that success. As women-led businesses enter the scale stage, the challenges begin to change. It’s no longer just about driving growth yourself; it’s more about putting the right governance, systems, leadership team, and investment-ready structures in place while preparing to expand into new markets.

This is what the CEIBS WELA Scale programme is designed to help you achieve. Through practical learning, world-class faculty, and a network of ambitious women business leaders, established women entrepreneurs who are ready for this next stage will gain the strategies, insights, and leadership skills needed to scale their businesses sustainably.

Our October 2026 intake is now open.
If you’re ready to scale your business with fresh insights, practical strategies, and the support of a powerful network of women entrepreneurs, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today at bit.ly/WELAForms or call 054 431 5238 / 054 434 1031 to learn more.

Ready to take your business beyond just growth?

Growth is only the starting point. Scaling means creating a business that is resilient, investment-ready, and prepared for the future.

At WELA SCALE, every module combines inspiration with practical tools. Participants will hear directly from successful business leaders who have overcome the challenges of expanding their companies, followed by interactive sessions that turn insights into actionable strategies for their own businesses.

Together, we will identify what’s working, find new growth opportunities, close critical gaps, and develop practical ways to help your business reach the next level.

If you’re a WELA alumna or a woman entrepreneur with a growing business and the ambition to:

* Scale sustainably
* Become investor-ready
* Future-proof your business
* Embed ESG principles into your operations
* Respond strategically to climate change and global market shifts

Then WELA SCALE is the right program for you.

Join a community of ambitious women leaders dedicated to building stronger, more competitive businesses for Africa and beyond.

What does it really take to succeed in the C-Suite today?

The business world is changing fast. Technology, AI, shifting markets and new ways of working are changing not only how organisations operate, but also what is expected of leaders.

That’s the conversation we’ll be having at our upcoming workshop, “Winning in the C-Suite: Leadership in the 4th Industrial Age.”

The workshop will also see the launch of two new programmes at CEIBS Africa:
• Hybrid Advanced Management Programme (AMP) for Technical Professionals – helping technical experts build the business and leadership capabilities needed to move into broader leadership roles.
• WELA Scale – supporting women entrepreneurs who are ready to take proven business success to the next level.

Two new programmes. Two different journeys. One goal: equipping leaders to thrive and win in a rapidly changing world.

For Daniella Afote, Founder and CEO of Occasions Hub GH and CEO of Melange X’perience, the CEIBS Women Entrepreneurship & Leadership for Africa (WELA) programme was an opportunity to broaden her leadership perspective, deepen her understanding of business, and gain valuable insights into China’s dynamic business ecosystem.

With over 16 years of experience creating exceptional event experiences and building one of Ghana’s leading event staffing and grooming companies, Daniella has built a career defined by excellence, innovation, and impact. Through WELA, she discovered new ways to think about growth, not simply by doing more, but by leading more strategically and intentionally.

Her reflections on China’s culture of speed, ex*****on, and innovation reinforce one of WELA’s core objectives: equipping Africa’s women entrepreneurs with global perspectives, practical leadership skills, and the confidence to build businesses that are designed for Africa while competing on the global stage.

At CEIBS Africa, we are proud to support visionary leaders like Daniella, whose commitment to excellence, entrepreneurship, and mentorship continues to inspire the next generation of business leaders across the continent.
