SHOWCASE | From Assembly to Opportunity: The ESD Success Stories Every Practitioner Should Know<\/strong><\/p><p>South Africa has seen powerful examples of how localisation, supplier development and ESD can move beyond policy and compliance to create real economic opportunity. This showcase brings\u00a0together success stories that demonstrate what is possible when organisations deliberately invest in local content, build supplier capability, open markets to SMEs, and create meaningful\u00a0opportunities for women and youth.<\/p><p>From growing local supply chains to strengthening SME participation and building future competitiveness, delegates will explore the approaches, partnerships and decisions that made these\u00a0initiatives successful. Most importantly, they will walk away with practical lessons and proven approaches they can apply to their own ESD, localisation and supplier development strategies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>
