Why you should attend

Digital advancement isn’t just about technology – it’s about finding smarter ways to grow your business. For township entrepreneurs, every small step towards digital adoption can create a big difference in how things are done and profits created.

Many township and rural business areas remain underdeveloped, with limited access to infrastructure, networks, and markets. Yet these same areas are rich with entrepreneurial energy and innovation. Partnerships between local government, business support organisations, and private sector players can unlock this potential by improving access to connectivity, training, and digital tools.

When local actors collaborate, township entrepreneurs gain the support they need to participate fully in the digital economy and contribute to more inclusive local growth.
