Great news! The SEDFA CreativeBiz Nexus 2026 is coming to Durban on March 5, 2026. This major government initiative aims to boost South Africa's creative economy.

Minister Stella Ndabeni will give the keynote speech, showing the government's serious commitment to supporting creative businesses as real small enterprises. This event builds on a national tour that started in Limpopo in September 2025.

The gathering brings together musicians, filmmakers, designers, and other creative professionals with financiers and support partners. With the theme "Fueled by Creativity. Powered through Hustle," it's all about strengthening business connections in the creative world.

Brand South Africa CEO Neville Matjie will also speak about how South African creative exports help position our country globally. The event isn't just talk – it's designed to create real results through focused discussions that will shape SEDFA's funding and partnership strategies.

Choosing Durban recognizes the city's cultural importance and gives KwaZulu-Natal's creative community direct access to the institutions and policymakers who are shaping the future of creative business support in South Africa.
