ACCRA, Ghana–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/span><\/a>\/AETOSWire<\/span><\/a>)– Forbes and BusyInternet today announced the availability of Forbes8,\u00a0a digital network that features more than 2,000 videos designed to inspire every aspect of an entrepreneur\u2019s journey.<\/span><\/p>\n

BusyInternet has for the past 18 years built a strong heritage of empowering its customers and supporting businesses \u2013 particularly small-and medium-sized businesses \u2013 to grow and fully optimize their potentials. Forbes8\u2019s strategic partnership with BusyInternet will help drive focus in further detail and add new dimensions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Forbes8 offers information, tips, advice and tools to help entrepreneurs get their start and accelerate their growth.\u00a0Leveraging Forbes\u2019 editorial expertise in championing entrepreneurial capitalism, Forbes8 features video spotlighting the best minds in business \u2013 all categorized\u00a0into four distinct themes: Inspire, Launch, Grow and Impact.\u00a0Intelligent machine-learning\/artificial intelligence capabilities deliver a personalized experience at scale, creating custom playlists based on an individual\u2019s on-boarding needs and preferences.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEntrepreneurialism is as much a mind-set as it is a type of business,\u201d said Thomas Brien-Mensah, Head of Marketing at BusyInternet. \u201cWhile there are important local nuances, there are so many global commonalities business owners face, and Forbes8 helps bridge the gap and partner with entrepreneurs every step of the way. We\u2019re excited to support Ghanaian entrepreneurs with this new service.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cForbes consistently champions those who have made it and those who aspire to make it, and our content will resonate with the burgeoning community of entrepreneurs across Ghana,\u201d said Forbes Chief Growth Officer Tom Davis. \u201cGhana\u2019s growing community of entrepreneurs, with the help of the government\u2019s National Entrepreneurial and Innovation Plan (NEIP), means there is a tremendous need for a business-advice on-demand network. Forbes8 fills that void while also providing a sense of community with others on the same journey.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Forbes8 is a global partnership between Forbes and AW3 Media, whose founder, Amos Winbush III,\u00a0is a noted serial entrepreneur and visionary having built several technology platforms that culminated in building dozens of partnerships with telecom companies on a global scale. Most importantly, he is leveraging his expertise and knowledge as a successful entrepreneur to create experiences, services and products like Forbes8 to help people achieve their personal and professional dreams.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBusyInternet is the right strategic partner for the launch of\u00a0Forbes8 because it\u00a0shares in our mission of helping promote entrepreneurial growth and access to opportunities across the region,\u201d Winbush said. \u201cForbes8 features perspectives from the best minds in business across Ghana and the world that are applicable to every aspect of an entrepreneur, business leader or small business owner\u2019s journey. I\u2019ve created several multi-national companies over the last ten years and from my experience innovating can be a lonely, scary, isolating yet exciting and fulfilling journey. And for this reason, we built Forbes8 to help support, equip and resource innovators and the players around them. It\u2019s truly inspirational and invaluable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
