Entrepreneurship Promotion
The Department is committed to contributing towards a vibrant entrepreneurial culture by positioning entrepreneurship as a credible path to economic success. Through targeted support and ecosystem partnerships, we aim to unlock the entrepreneurial potential within the province.
Access to Finance and Markets
Access to finance and markets remains a critical barrier to Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) growth. The Department aims to bridge the gap between funders and entrepreneurs by capacitating businesses to become funding-ready and better aligned with the requirements of financial institutions, while also facilitating access to appropriate funding mechanisms.
Leveraging Partnerships and Ecosystem Collaboration
An entrepreneurial ecosystem depends on strong collaboration between the various partners and across the public, private, and development sectors to support MSME growth. By aligning efforts and resources, the Department is contributing towards an integrated support network that expands access to services, unlocks opportunities, and empowers businesses to grow, innovate, and drive inclusive economic development.
Access to Markets - Supplier Open Days
Supplier Open Days are designed to connect MSMEs with the knowledge they need to access economic opportunities through the public sector. These sessions offer valuable insights into procurement processes, upcoming tenders, and compliance requirements, empowering local suppliers to confidently participate in supply chains. By bridging the information gap, we are laying the foundation for inclusive growth and meaningful economic participation.
