This in turn will benefit the wider community with employment and economic prospects across multiple sectors. 

This platform speaks to the City’s goal of building on the foundations for growth in economic nodes that are part of the larger Cape Town fabric.

The expo is set to take place on Thursday, 8 June 2023 at the Bellville Park Campus at the University of Stellenbosch Business School located on Carl Cronje Drive in Bellville. This year's expo, which is open to the public at no cost, promises to be an event that the Bellville business community won't want to miss.

We want to gather small businesses and give them the scope to connect, collaborate, and exhibit their products and services with the focus on development and access to new markets.

Participating enterprises will also compete for a prize consisting of business growth packages, mentorship initiatives and branding material.
