Wesgro (Government Agency)

Wesgro Export Promotion and Trade Missions (support service) is a incubation programme from Wesgro for growth, established businesses in Western Cape. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

Overview

The Wesgro Trade Unit gives Western Cape exporters free, confidential export support: 40 to 45 international trade missions and exhibitions a year, outward selling missions, buyer matchmaking, export training and help with compliance and trade barriers. Exhibition stands at international shows typically run under the South African National Pavilion, organised and funded by the dtic (EMIA) - Wesgro facilitates participation rather than paying out grants, so for stand-cost funding look at the dtic EMIA record.
