Micro-Business Support Programme 2024

Big news from the Entrepreneurship team at Grootbos Foundation! In April, we got 26 business plan presentations from new local micro-business owners. We teamed up with Rotary Hermanus and the Overberg Municipality's Local Economic Development team to pick which businesses will get seed funding and 12 months of mentorship.

Our 2024 judging panel has been working hard, going through two rounds of picking to find the best businesses. We're getting closer to announcing who's getting the support they need.

Keep an eye out for updates as we get ready to share the success stories of our local entrepreneurs!
