Thriving.Network Information

Thriving Network is a South African ESD ecosystem built to: -Develop -Connect -Commercialise SMEs and emerging businesses, creating real economic impact for entrepreneurs and the corporates who invest in them. For over nine years we have sat at the intersection of corporate ESD mandates and entrepreneurial ambition, bridging that gap through a living ecosystem that goes beyond programmes and produces suppliers that are visible, capable, and procurement ready. Our services focus on four distinct areas: - ICT Programme: A structured 12-week programme that equips SMEs with the digital infrastructure, tools, and operational credibility needed to engage at a corporate standard and access procurement opportunities. - Corporate Partnerships: We work with corporates to design and deliver ESD solutions that go beyond compliance and produce real, measurable supplier development. - Events: We create spaces where entrepreneurs connect with corporates, access development opportunities, and become part of a community built around growth. - Media: We document and amplify ESD journeys, profiling beneficiaries and producing content that tells the story of what real supplier development looks like from beginning to end.
