Bellville Business Expo 2024:
Unleashing new opportunities for growth and networking
The Bellville Business Expo is back for its second annual run, and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever before. Originally set for August, the event has been rescheduled to 17 and 18 October 2024, offering local businesses and working professionals an extended opportunity to explore growth avenues and expand their networks.
From established business looking to scale or entrepreneurs eager to break into new markets, the 2024 Bellville Business Expo is the ultimate gateway to business and networking opportunities. Held at the Tyger Valley Shopping Centre Arena, this event is more than just an exhibition; it’s a platform where local Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) from Bellville and surrounding areas can showcase their products and services while unlocking new business potentials.
What’s in Store for Attendees
The Greater Tygerberg Partnership (GTP) ensures a focus on economic development in one of the region’s key investment areas and the expo is designed to foster connections that matter. Attendees can expect to engage with buyers, financial and funding providers, and business development experts, all while exploring a diverse range of industries, from technology and finance to hospitality and retail.
“The City of Cape Town recognises that SMMEs are at the very heart of employment growth and innovation. We know that access to a network of funders, clients and skills resources is one of the most important aspects of helping businesses to grow their operations and that is why we are proud to support the GTP in hosting the 2024 Bellville Business Expo. Last year’s event was a great success and helped turn the spotlight on a variety of local businesses. This year, we are expecting an even bigger expo!” said Alderman James Vos, the City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth.
This year, the 2024 Bellville Connect Level Up Business series will also make its debut, offering participants a chance to compete, gain exposure, and access the resources they need to propel their businesses forward. This series is all about empowerment, providing tools and knowledge to help businesses not just survive but thrive in a competitive marketplace.
“Last year’s Bellville Business Expo was a resounding success, with 300 businesses and industry leaders coming together to share insights, forge new partnerships, and explore growth opportunities. The event attracted prestigious sponsors such as Sanlam, TUF, and Coca-Cola Peninsula Beverages, solidifying its reputation as a leading business gathering, and we anticipate similar high-calibre support in 2024. Several businesses also walked away with growth packages, mentorship partnerships, and branding prizes totalling R142,000 and the stakes are even higher this year, with potential rewards even greater,” commented Warren Hewitt, Chief Executive Officer at the Greater Tygerberg Partnership.
