Boost your Business at the 2024 Bellville
Business Level Up Series and Expo
Local business owners are in for an exciting opportunity as the highly anticipated Bellville Business Expo returns for its second year. The expo is preceded by the 2024 Bellville Connect Level Up Business Series, taking place virtually between 16 and 25 July. The main event is set to take place on 13 and 14 August at the Tygervalley Shopping Centre Arena.
Hosted by the Greater Tygerberg Partnership (GTP), these premier events are designed to be the pinnacle of business engagement in the Northern Suburbs. Building on the success of the inaugural 2023 Bellville Business Expo, this year promises even more opportunities for local businesses to gain insights, network, and expand their market reach.
Alderman James Vos, Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative, saying “The Bellville business events have been hugely beneficial in terms of fostering economic resilience and innovation in our community. They provide a platform for local businesses to thrive, connect, and elevate their market presence, and are especially significant now that we’ve transitioned to hosting them virtually for the first time, which opens new opportunities for broader participation and engagement.”
The virtual Bellville Connect Level Up Business Series 2024 promises to deliver eight impactful sessions designed to accelerate business growth. Participants will gain insights on market penetration, strategic partnerships, and innovative growth strategies to propel their businesses forward. This series is especially tailored for entrepreneurs seeking to scale their business endeavours and tap into new markets without geographical constraints.
Warren Hewitt, CEO at the GTP, emphasised the significance of these events for regional economic development: “The Bellville Connect Level Up Business Series and Bellville Business Expo 2024 serves as a vital hub for SMMEs in and around the area to showcase their offerings and explore collaborative opportunities. These events offer an unparalleled opportunity for businesses to gain exposure and forge meaningful connections.”
Igniting Entrepreneurial Growth
Registrations are also open for the 2024 Bellville Business Expo, which will feature an array of local SMMEs showcasing their products and services. This two-day business showcase will highlight business opportunities, promote development initiatives, and facilitate access to new markets.
The Tyger’s Cage Competition, a cornerstone of the expo, will see selected businesses pitching their ventures to a panel of esteemed judges, known as the ‘Tygers’. These judges, comprising successful South African business leaders, will evaluate pitches and offer investment opportunities to deserving enterprises.
