Cape Town Entrepreneurship Week has gathered momentum over the past few days with a huge volume of people now sitting up and taking notice. For year one of a ten year strategy I am encouraged to see such a high volume of chatter this early in the project. The City of Cape Town and the source partners have achieved a huge goal in a very short space of time. My only complaint is the lack of time in the day to attend all the functions I want to be at.

We had a chance to present a number of exciting workshop topics at a venue in Cape Town on Monday to Wednesday. These were attended by a variety of business owners and entrepreneurs. During these workshops we not only discussed various hot issues around developing a business but also were able to promote the services of various suppliers to small business and give away just over R10 000 of prizes. The final draw of the big prizes has just been done and the winners will be getting an email in their inbox shortly. So cool to play Father Christmas and give out gifts.

I am putting the final touches of preparation into my presentation for Saturday’s talk followed by two panel discussions. Join us at the Thusong Centre in Khayelitsha for the final day of CTEW 2010.
