APPLY FOR FUNDING
dear member
The Department of Trade Industry and Competition (the dtic), offers South African manufacturing companies the opportunity to showcase their products at various international trade fairs. In this instance, the scheme which provides funding for successful applicants, is called the Sector Specific Assistance Scheme (SSAS), and Emerging Exporters are encouraged to participate under this scheme. Funding must however be motivated for by CECOSA. Companies who meet the criteria, set out by the dtic, may apply for funding, and successful applicants will enjoy the following benefits – upfront payment for exhibition costs, freight forwarding, one economy class return flight ticket and accommodation (bed, breakfast and dinner included).
CECOSA will act as project coordinator for this event. CECOSA facilitates the application process and provides relevant information in order to make it possible for manufacturers to exhibit at these international exhibitions.
