Suppliers walked away with not only business leads but also real-world guidance
The Supplier MatchUp Sessions stole the spotlight at the Expo, transforming the floor into a hive of purposeful energy as entrepreneurs and big business came face to face.
 Strategically staged over two days, one on Day 1 and another on Day 2, the sessions gave hosted SMMEs a rare, upfront chance to sit down with procurement teams before the rush of Open Day, when a wider audience of visitors also joined the conversation. With 31 companies bringing over 90 procurement representatives to the table, the MatchUp zone pulsed with possibility: barriers to market entry fell away, new connections were forged, and suppliers walked away with not only business leads but also real-world guidance on how to navigate tendering and procurement.
