The Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) invites South African manufacturers of value-added export products to apply for participation at the 2nd China International Import Expo (CIIE)f, in Shanghai, China. The dti includes grant funding for qualifying businesses to attend international trade exhibitions.

The expo marks the latest of a series of efforts to promote China as an open and free market. In the next five years, China is expecting to import products and services valued at more than 10 trillion U.S. dollars. The deadline for submission of applications forms is 15 July 2019. 

If your company is competitive in the South African market, has been in business for at least two years and is export ready, it stands to benefit from the dti’s Export Marketing and Investment Assistance scheme.

This grant allows for subsidised marketing to assist your business in breaking into international markets.

If you would like assistance in applying for this grant funding, please complete the form below and one of our Problem-Solvers will be in contact with you to discuss your requirements.
