The Problem that Startup Development Agency is tackling and a solution
Entrepreneurship isn’t a trait you’re born with. It’s a skill, honed and developed over time, influenced by myriad social contingencies. But what happens when these contingencies, these opportunities for growth and learning, are out of reach for a significant portion of the population?
Consider the 15,000 young individuals registered in our database, each brimming with potential, each eager to carve out their own path in the business world. Their dreams, however, are often stifled by a lack of access to crucial information and opportunities.This is a challenge faced by many in under-served areas.
The culprit? The digital divide – a chasm widened by the prohibitive costs of internet access and the lack of infrastructure.
It is for this reason that Edu Empower Startup Entrepreneur Development Agency was conceived and publishing this Enetrprise Development and concise SME Guide.
The objectives of what we do
- Democratize Access to information & Economic Inclusion
- Equally Educate, Inform and Empower all aspiring Entrepreneurs & SME's.
- Highlight Enterprise Development Initiatives within the public & private organizations
- Analyze and showcase entrepreneurship trends, statistics & report across the country
Every individual, regardless of where they come from, deserves a fair shot at success. It’s up to us – the business community, the government and the education institutions to provide our youth with the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.

The Benfits of Enterprise Development Engagement
South Africa’s unemployment rate remains one of the highest in the world and it is sadly creating a cascading effect that ripples across the broader economy (i.e. decreased consumer spending, increased government spending, increased poverty.)
The development of Entrepreneurship and growth of SME’s is essential for the alleviation of the current unemployment crisis in South Africa. Accelerated engagement in ED will boost the creation of sustainable SMEs, jobs and entrepreneurial activity, while contributing to more favourable investor perceptions, locally and internationally.
The Challenge we are addressing, the solution and the call to Leaders
Let’s use our positions, our influence, to ignite Entreprepreneurship and Enterprise Development, to fuel the dreams of young people so that they are able to be part of the mainstream economy.
