Local Coordinator for GIZ SA: Lance Ledingham: lance.ledingham@giz.de

From 23 – 27 May 2022, a delegation of German crafts companies will visit South Africa and Lesotho. Their objective is to find woodworking and textiles companies interested in cooperating with a German crafts company or craftspeople to establish a long-term business partnership. It focuses on increasing the capacities of local SMEs. These are promoted with the aim of increasing their competitiveness and productivity so that their products and services meet the requirements for export or are suitable as inputs for international companies. The cooperation could include collaboratively developing products and services, conducting technical and administrative training, or conducting exchange trips with the partner company.

Interested companies must apply by presenting their profile in the format of a one-page flyer on or before the deadline.
