🌍 MADE IN GAUTENG. BUILT FOR THE WORLD.

Gauteng businesses are not only creating products for local markets — they are building the capacity to compete, trade and grow internationally.

At the 3rd Annual Embassies Business Fair & Conference, the Gauteng Growth and Development Agency (GGDA) shared practical pathways for SMMEs to move from local suppliers to global exporters — from export readiness and compliance to market access, funding and international B2B opportunities.

With GGDA having facilitated R12.4 billion in trade deals across 103 international markets, the message is clear: Made in Gauteng can go far beyond Gauteng. 🇿🇦🌍
