Africa's Largest Startup Campus
Powering The Next Generation of Entrepreneurs

The Post-Budget Vote Engagement, hosted by the Department of Small Business Development in partnership with 22 On Sloane, is a vital platform for entrepreneurs, SMMEs, investors, policymakers, and other ecosystem stakeholders to gain first-hand insights into the national budget allocations and their impact on small businesses and startups — with a particular focus on township and rural economies.

 

Led by the Hon. Stella Tembisa Ndabeni, Minister of Small Business Development, the session will feature a keynote address, an interactive panel discussion with thought leaders and entrepreneurs, and a Q&A session to encourage direct dialogue. Attendees will also have the opportunity to network and explore collaborative solutions to drive entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainable small-business growth across South Africa.

The Startup Huddle event provides a platform for entrepreneurs to discover solutions to the challenges they face through purposeful engagement with a broad array of voices from the local community, who can also share their experiences.

 

Startups are given context about the topic at hand, which includes tools, tricks and techniques from experts. This can take up to 10min. Thereafter, they will be given 2-3 minutes to tell us about some of the challenges they have encountered in their business venture. Participants then get into small groups where they Huddle for a 10-minute -interactive activity. Each group selects a team member or two to share what they discussed. The Huddle will close off having equipped the techies with practical and value-add experience they can use in their startup journey.

As we close off 2025, we invite you to join us for a dynamic and purpose-driven Entrepreneur Fair & Networking experience. This gathering is designed to bring together entrepreneurs, innovators, and business leaders for a full day of trading, learning, collaboration, and celebration of African excellence.
