The Department of Small Business Development (DSBD) in partnership with the European Commission is leading the EU – South Africa Matchmaking Event at the Constitutional Hill in Johannesburg, Gauteng.

The event which is hosted with the support of the EU Delegation to South Africa and facilitated by the European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP) and the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) comes at the backdrop of the Manufacturing Indaba which will be held on 24 to 26 October 2023.

The EU – South Africa Matchmaking Event brings together cluster organisations, SMMEs, Start-ups and European Industry Associations from the European Union (EU), non-EU COSME countries, and South Africa. This event will provide participants an excellent chance to promote Cluster to Cluster (C2C), Cluster to Business (C2B), and Business to Business (B2B) collaborations.
