In a significant move to empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), MTN Zambia has introduced the Y’ello Biz App. This groundbreaking platform aims to revolutionize business operations in Zambia by providing access to MTN’s local content, exclusive discounts, and a comprehensive business directory.
SMEs constitute a substantial portion of Zambia’s economic landscape, comprising 97% of all enterprises and contributing to 70% of the nation’s opportunities.

These enterprises are crucial drivers of economic development, making digital solutions vital for their growth.
The Y’ello Biz App is designed to address this need by offering a range of user-friendly ICT solutions that enhance efficiency, productivity, and connectivity. Users gain access to MTN’s premium local content, ensuring they receive timely and relevant information to make informed decisions. The app also provides exclusive discounts and deals from MTN and its partners, reducing expenses and improving profitability. Furthermore, it offers a comprehensive business directory, simplifying the process of locating enterprises and government services nationwide, facilitating easier collaboration and business growth.
At the launch event, Hon. Elias Mubanga, Minister of SMEs, emphasized the importance of SMEs in Zambia’s economy and praised MTN Zambia for its collaboration with the government in fostering innovation. He noted that such collaborations accelerate growth and align with the government’s goal of promoting SMEs’ growth.
