SA INC - Season 6 - Episode 4

BUILDING ECONOMIC RESILIENCE: A SHARED-VALUE MODEL FOR INCLUSIVE GROWTH. In this episode, we see how South Africa's progress relies on the synchronised effort of growing people and small businesses alongside developing world-class infrastructure. A leading financial institution uses a shared-value model providing finance, coaching, and market access to entrepreneurs. Examples include supporting women-led enterprises, township developers (uMaStandi), and training young plumbers. This approach helps businesses grow, stabilise, hire and build economic resilience from the ground up. We also see inclusive progress amplified at a provincial level through a Special Economic Zone (SEZ). This SEZ acts as a catalyst for industrialisation and innovation, connecting local producers to global markets via its strategic location next to the airport. It also ensures SMMEs and local workers participate directly in infrastructure development, gaining skills and contracts. Furthermore, the partnership includes sustainability standards and nurturing homegrown innovation through The Innovation Hub. The overall message is that the combination of financial access and industrial strategy enables inclusive growth, allowing small businesses to scale, communities to gain employment and skills, and positioning South Africa as a competitive player in global markets. ‪@nedbank‬ ‪@gautengprovinceidz3775‬ ‪@ortambosez3438‬ ====================================================== Subscribe to our YouTube Channel:    / @regencyfn   RegencyFN films positive, authentic, inspirational and change-making ‘human-centred’ stories featuring the collaborative work of businesses, governments, NGOs, media influencers, labour & civil society.
