DESCRIPTION: The Partner Network can be viewed as an initiative to consolidate the enterprise support provided by “centre based” support agencies to ensure geographic spread.
 
The Department proactively enters into partner agreements enabling the Western Cape Government to be at the pulse of activity in the entrepreneurship arena. Organisations currently playing a cardinal role are the Small Enterprise Development Agency (Seda), the Business Place (TBP) and the West Coast Business Service Centre (WCBDC). These organisations are currently fulfilling the role of a targeted approach to small enterprise support.

  • Effect interventions aimed at establishing new and growing existing businesses;
  • Provide business support for the development of entrepreneurial skills in key sectors and industries identified in terms of the strategic objectives; and
  • Leverage funding through financial agencies.
