Global Expo Botswana 2025 to Spotlight Entrepreneurship and Creativity

Global Expo Botswana 2025 to Spotlight Entrepreneurship and Creativity. The Botswana Investment and Trade Centre (BITC) has announced the launch of the first-ever Botswana Entrepreneurs and Creatives Day, to be held on 10 October during Global Expo Botswana (GEB) 2025. The initiative marks a significant step in positioning entrepreneurship and the creative industries as central drivers of the country’s economic future.

The dedicated day aims to highlight the potential of Botswana’s creative economy while providing entrepreneurs and innovators with a platform to collaborate, exchange knowledge, and build networks. With objectives that include promoting export readiness, cross-sector value chain development, and business-to-business (B2B) engagements, the event is designed to deliver practical benefits for both established businesses and emerging players.

Workshops, panel discussions, and interactive sessions will focus on capacity building, benchmarking, and skills development, ensuring participants leave with actionable insights. For entrepreneurs, the day represents an opportunity to explore collaborations that can strengthen business resilience and competitiveness. For creatives, it offers visibility and the chance to connect with investors, partners, and international markets.

An impressive lineup of speakers and performers will share their experiences and perspectives. Industry figures such as Thato ‘Scar’ Matlhabaphiri, Seabelo Modibe, Mothusi Lesolle, Norah McAlson, Samantha Mogwe, Thabiso Dibeela, James Gaboiphiwe, DJ Ngwazi, Emmanuel Kayenda, Tonderai Tsara, Earnest Seakgosing, Lesedi Mphothwe, and Carol Keosedile will feature prominently in the programme.

By integrating entrepreneurs and creatives into the broader GEB 2025 platform, BITC is signalling the importance of inclusive economic growth that goes beyond traditional industries. The Entrepreneurs and Creatives Day is expected to strengthen Botswana’s position as a hub of innovation and cultural expression in the region.
