This forum attracts both local women and regional member representatives from countries SADC member countries. This is event is positioned to unearth talent, creativity in appreciating diversity of WIBA women owned businesses.

Participants in this sector include those in leather, textiles, food, arts, jewelry to mention a few.  Expectations are that members benchmark with others, and that business relationships will be established during these trade network interactions. Opportunities for being part of the trade linkages involve identifying suppliers, investment opportunities, establishing niche market both locally and regionally.

We believe that having such exhibitions can go a long way in enhancing the value for all participating members. Platforms such as these have had spill over effects as some international delegates have also come on board to also network among our Tswana women. As part of the long standing tradition; WIBA has created synergistic relationships with embassies and consoles who have become a useful link in expanding this platform to affiliated sister organisations in the SADC region.

Member states who have wholeheartedly being supportive include delegates from countries like Lesotho, Zambia, South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zimbabwe to mention a few. Alongside the event; we also encourage members to participate in seminars or workshop to augment their skills in order to be competitive in the market. To this end, it is our hope that our members can make use of this network to facilitate supplying the external markets.
