KZN Growth Fund Agency participated in the Zululand Youth Economic Empowerment Breakfast in eMondlo, hosted by the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA).

The engagement provided a platform for aspiring entrepreneurs and youth-owned businesses to connect with institutions and explore opportunities for business development, funding, skills development and market access.

For KZNGFA, platforms such as these are important in strengthening awareness of development finance and the role it can play in supporting sustainable enterprises, creating jobs and advancing young people’s participation in KwaZulu-Natal’s economy.

The day after a successful KZN Investment Conference headlined SA Autoweek, the KZN Growth Fund Agency team went straight to the factory touring the Toyota manufacturing plant in Prospecton, Durban - one of the largest vehicle plants on the continent.

It was a chance to see first-hand the scale, precision and supply-chain depth that make KwaZulu-Natal a powerhouse of the automative industry in South African.

Behind every vehicle that leaves Prospecton is a network of component makers, logistics providers and industrial suppliers, many of them right here in KZN. We fund qualifying projects from R20 million to R100 million for industrialists scaling in automotive, manufacturing or logistics.
