Botswana Development Corporation Highlights Investment Support at 29th Northern Trade Fair. The Botswana Development Corporation Limited (BDC) is stepping into the spotlight as a proud sponsor of the 29th Northern Trade Fair, reaffirming its role as a key enabler of economic growth and enterprise development in the country.

As Botswana’s primary development finance institution, BDC’s presence at the trade fair underscores its ongoing commitment to supporting commercially viable ventures across various sectors. Fully owned by the Government of Botswana, the corporation provides long-term, patient capital to businesses that align with national development priorities, particularly those with potential for sustainable job creation, export generation, and local value addition.

Entrepreneurs and exhibitors are invited to visit the BDC stall, where representatives are on hand to offer insights into the corporation’s investment criteria, funding products, and business development support services. This engagement forms part of BDC’s wider mission to connect with local businesses and foster greater awareness of the financial instruments available to help turn high-impact ideas into reality.

The Northern Trade Fair, held in Francistown, provides a unique platform for BDC to interact directly with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMMEs), industry leaders, and emerging innovators. The corporation’s participation reflects its continued focus on strengthening regional economies and supporting inclusive growth beyond urban centres.

BDC’s involvement also signals opportunities for local entrepreneurs to explore partnerships that align with Botswana’s long-term economic diversification strategy.
