Selebi-Phikwe to Host Dikgwebo Dialogues for Early-Stage Innovators

Selebi-Phikwe to Host Dikgwebo Dialogues for Early-Stage Innovators. Early-stage entrepreneurs and innovators in Selebi-Phikwe are invited to participate in the next edition of Dikgwebo Dialogues, a one-day business development session scheduled for 8 July 2025 at Cresta Bosele Hotel.

The initiative, led by Botswana Innovation Hub in collaboration with Generation Unlimited and UNICEF Botswana, is designed to equip local startups with hands-on tools to grow their businesses. The workshop will focus on key areas such as branding, funding strategies, and product packaging — practical components that are often overlooked but critical for business success.

Participants will engage directly with subject-matter experts who will provide actionable insights tailored to Botswana’s business environment. From refining business models to preparing for investor readiness, the session aims to empower entrepreneurs to start small and scale sustainably.

Selebi-Phikwe, once a mining hub, is emerging as a space for innovation and entrepreneurship, and initiatives like Dikgwebo Dialogues are playing a vital role in nurturing that shift. Local entrepreneurs, particularly those in the early stages of business development, stand to benefit from this collaborative platform that blends mentorship, training, and peer learning.

Registration for the event is open via the official link https://bit.ly/DikgweboDialogues, or participants can scan the QR code available on the event poster.

For Botswana’s small business sector, especially in underrepresented regions, the dialogue presents an opportunity to access networks, knowledge, and practical skills. Entrepreneurs are encouraged to attend and take advantage of this focused support aimed at helping them strengthen and grow their ventures.
