Acceleration Initiative to help 100 SMMEs that require Funding

(Media Release: Issued and provided by the JSE)

The SME Accelerator Programme's goal is to onboard 100 SMEs and match them with capital providers.

The programme consists of three phases namely (i) recruitment for qualifying SMEs, (ii) capital or investor readiness support (Bootcamp), and will culminate into (iii) a Capital Matching Event.

The JSE is collaborating with the SEDA, SEFA and Western Cape Government, Department of Economic Development and Tourism to deliver a unique Capital Matching solution for SMEs.

The initiative achieved a 63% success rate in 2023 and aims to support more companies in 2024.
