The Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (the Dtic) in collaboration with the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Economic Development, Tourism, and Environmental Affairs (KZN Edtea) will on Tuesday host the eThekwini Business Seminar at the Durban Exhibition Centre.
Their collective expertise and commitment to driving economic growth will undoubtedly contribute to the success of this event.
Deputy Minister Nomalungelo Gina explains that the eThekwini Business Seminar seeks to attract a diverse audience including local businessmen, representatives from various state entities and agencies of both the Dtic and KZN Edtea.
“We seek to foster knowledge sharing, collaboration, and partnership opportunities, to educate emerging and disadvantaged businesses about the range of funding opportunities available within the Dtic and the KZN Edtea, to facilitate knowledge sharing and to create a platform for meaningful interactions between state entities and local businesses,” Gina said.
The Deputy Minister said the purpose of the seminar is to enable entrepreneurs to leverage funding support packages for their identified projects and to facilitate networking and relationship-building between local businesses and state entities to promote collaboration and foster economic growth.
She said the forum presents a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to not only gain valuable insights into funding instruments within the agencies of the Dtic and KZN Edtea but also to forge meaningful connections with state entities and fellow business leaders.
