The NYDA View on Smme

In November 2009 the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) launched a five-day campaign that aims to create a platform for industry buyers and youth owned SMEs to convene, engage and conduct business, while creating access to market opportunities to benefit both buyers and SMEs.

An exciting new initiative called “Ado...pt a youth owned business” with the aim of encouraging industry buyers and industry captains to ‘Adopt a youth owned business’ with an added benefit of scoring B-BBEE points on Enterprise Development was also introduced.
