Entrepreneurship in South Africa is crucial to the economy as it drives innovation, creates jobs, and promotes economic growth. With high unemployment rates, small businesses provide essential employment opportunities, helping to reduce poverty and inequality. Entrepreneurs also contribute to addressing local challenges by introducing new products and services that cater to diverse needs. Additionally, startups attract investment, foster competition, and boost exports. By cultivating a culture of entrepreneurship, South Africa can enhance its global competitiveness, diversify its economy, and create sustainable development, ultimately improving the quality of life for many citizens. #entrepreneurship #entrepreneurs #smallbusiness #SouthAfrika #Afrika #TownshipEconomy #SouthAfricanEconomy #yayasteel #yayaengineers #FloatingStairs #AluminiumWindows #BifoldDoors #ProjectManagement #ProgrammeManagement #ProjectManagementOffice #BalesengBasiTau

Across Africa, entrepreneurs are shaping the future! Did you know around 22% of adults in sub-Saharan Africa are actively starting businesses? From tech hubs in Kenya to Agribusinesses in Nigeria, African entrepreneurs are creating jobs, driving innovation, and tackling local challenges. In 2021, African startups raised $5 billion in funding; proof that the world is noticing. "Entrepreneurs are individuals who take the initiative to create a new business or venture and solely assume the risks involved in bringing it to life. Entrepreneurs have a super power that is unmatched and unparalleled.” While it can be challenging to launch a business, every year, thousands of people embark on this entrepreneurial journey, determined to bring their visions and dreams to fruition and meet a need they see in the society. Entrepreneurship isn't just about profit; it's about empowerment and that's what we're all about at Craft and Scale Network; driving new ventures, creating opportunities that will strengthen economies and pave the way for future generations. Let's invest in Africa's future; support entrepreneurs today, and watch the continent shine tomorrow! #Entrepreneurship #Empowerment #Innovation #Craftandscalenetwork #CSN

Currently considering an innovation hub in The Hague, Netherlands 🇳🇱, for entrepreneurs in the African diaspora - and anyone building innovative solutions to Africa’s biggest challenges. Any ideas who i should speak to about this? The hub would embrace a hybrid model (physical space and digital platforms) to serve entrepreneurs anywhere in the world, including within Africa. Note: This does not affect ongoing discussions for local hubs in various African cities. Terrible idea or worth pursuing further? We can build this together, the same way we built Norrsken East Africa from scratch. Your thoughts are needed 💡💡💡 Gert van Veldhuisen David van Dijk #diaspora #entrepreneurship #africa #agenda2063 Africa Cities Fund

I like the hybrid model concept (physical space and digital platforms) to serve entrepreneurs anywhere in the world, including Africa and contributing towards sustainable innovative solutions.

Thanks for sharing Andrés! If you haven't already, check out our article on Entrepreneurship and Special Economic Zones recently published in the UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Transnational Corporations Journal. Susanne Frick and I have explored how SEZs could promote local entrepreneurship. Initiatives like targeted skills development, networking, and providing business-friendly regulations can reinforce spillovers effects. In addition, tailoring policies & infrastructure to the specific needs of local entrepreneurs, rather than offering generic incentives, is crucial for effectiveness.
