eThekwini launches business fair

COME one, come all, it’s almost time for the biggest business fair of them all! The Durban Business Fair continues to infuse growth and sustainability through the extension of the programme to communities at grassroots level.

This event will now be expanded to all three regions within eThekwini Municipality by reviving the Regional Durban Business Fairs, which will be held before the main Durban Business Fair scheduled for 19 to 21 September at Durban Exhibition Centre.

This is a direct response to the growing interest in the fair from businesses within eThekwini and beyond, who have been previously denied an opportunity to be part of this landmark event as it could only accommodate about 500 exhibitors.

The mayor, James Nxumalo, said the expansion of the Durban Business Fair to regional level is indicative of the growing influence and impact of the event, which has made a significant contribution to the development of the economy in eThekwini.

“The Durban Business Fair is an important vehicle used by the city to drive business development and to create a vibrant and self-sustainable business sector,” said Nxumalo.

The northern Regional Durban Business Fair is from 28 to 30 March at Bridge City Shopping Centre and will feature a one-day Business Indaba.
