Seda believes in economic growth through local investment. The portal therefore aims to encourage a love for local brands (Proudly South African) and in doing so link small business with the mainstream economy. The platform will also assist in identifying potential high growth enterprises and entrepreneurs who may benefit from Seda’s interventions in increasing their turnover capability, quality, production rate or adoption of innovation.
