Impact Story
As a source of employment and positive contribution to South Africa's GDP, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are an integral part of the South African economy. At a local level, SMEs remain critical to uplifting the communities in which they operate, creating employment opportunities, skills development, and vibrant culture of entrepreneurial innovation.
Given the growth constraints that SMEs face, it is crucial to design programmes and solutions that will have a wider reach and bring about real, systemic change and empowerment. The Black Umbrellas model is aimed at supporting emerging businesses through an award-winning incubation programme and allied interventions to develop businesses to a level where they can emerge as independent, viable, and scalable.
Diverse Social Enterprise
The TRANSFORM Support Hub is committed to accelerating diverse owned and led enterprises to build more equitable and resilient supply chains.
