The Cape Clothing & Textile Cluster (CCTC) is excited to announce the launch of “Origin8: From Start-up to Scale-up”, a programme that is designed to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in South Africa’s clothing, textile, footwear, and leather (CTFL) sector.

Supported by the City of Cape Town’s Growth Coalitions Branch, the programme is the first of its kind, aiming to expose promising SMEs to major national retailer requirements, helping them to bridge the gaps that exist in their business to better align with industry standards and customer expectations.

The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) and Western Cape Government Capital Matching Initiative as part of the JSE Rise programme is focused on supporting SMEs to aid the growth of the economy and have therefore been expanding the SME Funding Readiness and Capital Matching initiatives to more companies.
