Free State Economic Development and Tourism hosts Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises and Investment Indaba, 22 Sept

DEDT to host the Free State MSME Development, Innovation and Investment Indaba

As part of a three-year journey to build a more coordinated, inclusive, growth oriented MSME ecosystem--connecting enterprises to compliance, capability, finance, access to markets, innovation, and investment, the Free State Department of Economic Development and Tourism (DEDT) together with SMME finance and Mangaung Metro, will host the Free State Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Development, Innovation and Investment Indaba on Tuesday, 22 September 2026 at Mangaung City Hall, Bloemfontein.

The premier event brings together municipalities, developmental institutions, corporates, industry bodies, technology providers, and MSMEs to address the structural barriers that constrain enterprise participation, competitiveness, and growth. This year's Indaba forms part of a broader three-year Free State MSME Development Program that seeks to move beyond fragmented enterprise--support interventions towards a coordinated provincial MSME ecosystem focused on compliance and enterprise development.

Details of the Indaba will unfold as follows:

Date: Tuesday, 22 September 2026
