Theme: Cementing Reliable Relationships

The TEDx platform is for "Ideas worth spreading" and we would like entrepreneurs to have a platform and audience to cement reliable relationships in order to bring those ideas to life. The timing of this event is in line with the closure of the Global Entrepreneurship Week on November 14 - 20. We want to join and participate in the movement by bringing entrepreneurs together. The setting for the evening would be a host of entrepreneurs around Gauteng with intentionally facilitated networking evening by our organising team. The goal is to have 6 aspiring/start-up entrepreneurs representing different industries share the ideas that they intend to bring to life. Once that idea is shared, The eHub will support them together with their network of coaches and mentors to make it a sustainable business.
