Calling business owners in Bellville and surrounds. Get ready to mark your calendars for the launch of the 2023 Bellville Business Expo, soon to become a top annual business event in Northern Suburbs. The event, hosted by the City of Cape Town and the Greater Tygerberg Partnership (GTP), is an amalgamation of the City’s Atlantis Business Expo held in October last year, and the GTP’s annual Bellville Investment Conference. 

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. 


Alderman James Vos, Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth, said, “The City is proud to host the 2023 Bellville Business Expo because it speaks to our goal of building on the foundations for growth in economic nodes that are part of the larger Cape Town fabric. The expo will feature a wide range of industries, from technology to finance, hospitality and healthcare. Attendees will get to connect with business development experts, gain valuable insights around operational growth, and explore new business opportunities. Additionally, the expo will give three businesses a fantastic opportunity to walk away with highly valued business growth packages, business mentor partnerships and business branding prizes.


“The 2023 Bellville Business Expo will open doors and give businesses the space to connect and establish relationships with buyers, incubators, and investors, as well as a chance to network and find avenues for collaboration and synergy. This in turn will benefit the wider community with employment and economic prospects across multiple sectors.” 

Warren Hewitt, Chief Executive Officer at the Greater Tygerberg Partnership says, “The City of Cape Town and the Greater Tygerberg Partnership are excited to be hosting the 2023 Bellville Business Expo, right in the epicentre of this crucial economic node. Bellville is not just home to Cape Town’s busiest public transport interchange, but it is also a vibrant, busy urban centre ready for extensive growth. 

Our goal for this Bellville Business Expo is to bring together local SMME businesses that are ripe and ready for growth to connect, collaborate, and exhibit their products and services with the focus on development and access to new markets.”
