There is strong demand for the City’s
flagship platform that connects small businesses to markets, opportunities, and
potential investors.
The theme for the 2026 Durban Business
Fair is ‘’28 Years of Connecting SMMEs to Markets and Opportunities.’’ The Durban
Business Fair will take place at Durban Exhibition Centre from 30 April to 2
May 2026.
The eThekwini Municipality is inviting
local entrepreneurs and business owners to register to exhibit at the fair
before the deadline date of 17 April 2026.
The Durban Business Fair is the perfect
place to showcase products and services, access new markets, and build valuable
business networks. The fair will also feature a series of empowerment sessions
focusing on innovation, access to funding, and connecting businesses to
international markets.
‘’Since 1998, more than 40 000
businesses have participated in the Durban Business Fair, with over
130 000 buyers and visitors attending and engaging with exhibitors. The
initiative has helped create more than 21 000 sustainable jobs, thanks to
an investment of over R400 million over the past 28 years to support small
businesses through this platform,’’ said Chairperson of the City’s Economic
Development and Planning Committee Councillor Thembo Ntuli.
Business owners are encouraged to register
early as exhibition space is filling up fast.

‘’We are very excited to be exhibiting for
the first time. We moved quickly to secure a spot as the Durban Business Fair
comes highly recommended. We want to showcase our services, connect with new
clients for design and construction projects, and position our company among
like-minded businesses, potentially leading to subcontract work. We are looking
forward to this exhibition,’’ said Anele Mabhoza, founder of Mabhoza Engineers
in Hillcrest.
