The National Pavilion run by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) provides businesses with an opportunity to exhibit at some of the largest trade shows in the world. If you are exporting and looking to grow your business, this might be an excellent opportunity. The DTI explains the National Pavillion as follows:
The Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) will be participating in various exhibitions, trade shows and National Pavilions to promote locally manufactured products in international markets. The department invites manufacturers and registered exporters to participate in the international trade shows listed in the links below. If your company is competitive in the South African market, has been in business for at least two years and is export ready, it stands to benefit from the dti‘s Export Marketing and Investment Assistance scheme.
