Our Mission
“To offer world-class support services to commercial firms and social enterprises in the 21st century”
ABOUT US
Although Global Entrepreneurial Development Services (GEDS) was first incorporated in 2010, as Global Enterprise Development Services. Upon reviewing its clientele, it was felt that a newly-revised entity was required to offer customised products and services. We are offering technical assistance and enterprise support to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and other such firms - nationally and internationally. We are managed by a cadre of professionals ranging from
business, education, healthcare, science and technology as well as other disciplines.
