The Small Business Association of Barbados recently launched Small Business Week 2022, and named FLOW Business as this year’s title sponsor. The theme of the Week has been chosen because of the disruption caused by technology and digitalisation on the way business has been conducted in a COVID-19 environment.
A number of educational sessions have been planned, and participants will focus on the impact of this digital revolution on business and how this period can be monetised by small firms.
