The Department of Trade and Industry will participate in the 2009 Design Indaba Expo
26 February 2009
The Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) will once again participate in the Design Indaba Expo, to take place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, from 27 February to 1 March 2009. Fifteen international buyers and 30 local exhibitors will occupy the dti stand and lounge during the Indaba Expo.
The dti has been involved in the Indaba Expo since its inception and continues to make optimal use of this opportunity to showcase Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) in the creative industries sector to prospective global investors and publicise the Department’s financial and non-financial support initiatives of the local design community.
The dti remains committed to developing South African creative industries, which is largely dominated by SMMEs, by exposing them to investment, networking and benchmarking opportunities with leading international design talents, through platforms like the Design Indaba.
