The road show is the second such endeavour for the Business Clinic, which undertook the first one in 2007 during which it was clearly revealed to the students that Batswana still lack information on available entrepreneurship resources, which affect their enthusiasm towards starting businesses. It is for this reason that The Business Clinic members are undertaking the same activity with a view to continue cultivating a culture of entrepreneurship in response to the government of Botswana's wish to diversify the nation's economy and empower its citizens. A team of 30 business clinic students from various departments in the Faculty of Business have been selected to participate in this exercise.
One of the strategic priorities for the University of Botswana is to promote engagement with society, private sector and encourage academic entrepreneurship. In order to achieve this goal the Faculty of Business, through the Business Clinic has among its objectives, undertaken to establish new entrepreneurial partnerships with business, industry, education, civic organisation, etc. The Business Clinic's primary role is to help small and medium-size companies with the basic, but critical, business elements, enabling the students to engage the community at large.
