The Gauteng provincial government is actively investing in the growth of small businesses, startups and entrepreneurs — but accessing those funds requires knowing exactly where to look and how to apply. The Funding Future Summit on 30 July gives you a direct line to the people responsible for making those investment decisions.

Hear Directly from Gauteng’s Economic Development Department

Motlatjo Moholwa from the Gauteng Department of Economic Development will take the stage at the Funding Future Summit to share insights on Gauteng’s economic growth plan and exactly how SMMEs can access available funding. This is a rare opportunity to engage with a senior government representative who directly influences funding allocations for small businesses in the province.

At the Funding Future Summit, you’ll discover Gauteng-specific opportunities including:

  • Grants and funding incentives for Gauteng-based SMMEs

  • Township economy and informal sector support programmes

  • Youth and women-owned business development funds

  • Startup incubation and accelerator support in Gauteng

  • Access to provincial government tender and procurement opportunities

You’ll also hear from Naomi Mtshali of the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), who will unpack sector-specific funding solutions — from manufacturing and innovation to township economy and startup finance.
