Durban Business Fair

The 15th annual Durban Business Fair was a major success. This has shown the number of young entrepreneurs participating in almost all business aspects. Fashion and a bit of technology is where most of them are focusing. Now I have interviewed a lot of these youth entrepreneurs and most of them are start up businesses still working at home and some just moved to new  business location. The majority of these entrepreneurs only have an email or a social account to advertise themselves on the Internet. This shows a large gap in participating on the global field. The jewel makers and fashion designers have products that can possibly sell on the international market.

I believe a lot of contracts were discussed during this fair and we will certainly see partnerships spring out from these discussions. The future looks a bit bright with more and more events like these. I already hear people talking about investing in some of the talent they saw from the fair which is what these event was meant to do! There was more than 500 stands available at the fair with business of all kinds done.

Those who where there certainly enjoyed. Those who were not there missed out!
