Finding Sector-Specific Funding

Targeted Funding Programmes

Many South African funding programmes target specific industries. Government agencies like DTIC offer sector incentives, while DFIs like IDC focus on industrial development. Matching your sector increases approval chances.

ESD and B-BBEE Alignment

Enterprise and Supplier Development programmes often target specific value chains. Construction, manufacturing, and technology sectors have the most active ESD programmes from major corporates.

Provincial Sector Focus

Provincial development agencies often prioritise sectors aligned with their economic strategy. Western Cape focuses on tech and agri-processing, Gauteng on financial services and manufacturing.

Cross-Sector Opportunities

Don't limit your search to one sector. Many programmes support cross-cutting themes like digital transformation, green technology, and youth enterprise across all industries.
