"Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises are the backbone of South Africa’s economy. Today, they generate around 34% of the country’s GDP, provide approximately 60% of all jobs, and account for more than 90% of formal businesses. Yet only a small share of South African companies are integrated into global supply chains and export markets. Our mission is not only to support entrepreneurs, but to help them unlock international opportunities.

The BRICS Entrepreneurs Alliance creates those opportunities by providing structured access to foreign partners and new markets. We believe that stronger international business connections can empower thousands of South African companies to scale faster, expand their global reach, and become active participants in the world economy."
