  On 31 July 2024 Elize Hattingh hosted round table discussions with stakeholders that are actively supporting local green entrepreneurs in South Africa renewable energy and energy efficient sectors. The event was hosted by Trade Industrial Policy Strategies (TIPS) at the Annual TIPS Forum in Pretoria. We discuss green business barriers that marginalised groups such as female-owned, youth-owned and people with disabilities-owned are experiencing. Senior representatives from the Department of Minerals and Energy participated together with IDC representatives.

Elize Hatting is looking forward to host a platform for local green enterprises to engage with key Green Economy Stakeholders in Government to unpack business barriers to ensure no one is left behind and that we focus on SMME inclusion as a priority for a truly Just Transition.
