Entrepreneurs across Bellville and the Northern Suburbs are being urged to scale up their operations by applying for a prestigious four-month business development initiative designed to catalyse local economic growth.
Now entering its fourth year, the 2026 Bellville Connect Level Up Programme is officially open for applications, offering independent business owners a unique opportunity to strengthen their business foundations, boost market visibility, and unlock lucrative new supply chains.
The initiative, delivered by the Greater Tygerberg Partnership (GTP) as part of their broader Bellville Connect scheme, has established itself as a vital ecosystem for ambitious founders seeking practical mentorship, expert guidance, and institutional investment.
Running from July to October 2026, the comprehensive programme blends weekly online workshops with intensive in-person sessions, focusing heavily on long-term sustainability and buyer engagement.
