2023 SMME Programme applications
The future growth of the South African economy largely rests on the shoulders of entrepreneurs. Through our Enterprise and Supplier Development programme, we aim to assist black-owned and black women-owned SMMEs to grow and become financially and operationally independent. By creating and/or developing sustainability for these small businesses, we also create a strong structure for access into the economy and thereby, ultimately, assisting to reduce the high unemployment rate in the country.
