The BRICS Entrepreneurs Alliance is gaining momentum and expanding where it matters most.

South Africa is now officially on board. The Global Council has approved South Africa national entity as a National Chapter, marking the Alliance’s first international expansion since its launch.

This is not about announcements. It is about execution. The South African chapter now serves as the Alliance’s official business platform in the country, with a focused mandate: connect entrepreneurs, facilitate deals, and create partnerships that lead to tangible outcomes.

The approach is straightforward. A structured environment built on transparency, accountability, and strong business ethics, without unnecessary bureaucracy.

Nobuntu Hlazo-Webster, National President of SA BRICS Entrepreneurs Alliance, Member of Parliament of South Africa, Member of the Portfolio Committee on Trade, Industry and Competition, Member of the Portfolio Committee on Small Business Development in RSA Parliament, emphasized:

"Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises are the backbone of South Africa’s economy. Today, they generate around 34% of the country’s GDP, provide approximately 60% of all jobs, and account for more than 90% of formal businesses. Yet only a small share of South African companies are integrated into global supply chains and export markets. Our mission is not only to support entrepreneurs, but to help them unlock international opportunities.

The BRICS Entrepreneurs Alliance creates those opportunities by providing structured access to foreign partners and new markets. We believe that stronger international business connections can empower thousands of South African companies to scale faster, expand their global reach, and become active participants in the world economy."

The next phase is already taking shape: new countries, stronger digital infrastructure, and a series of international business formats designed with one goal in mind, delivering results.

For companies that are building, scaling, and looking beyond their domestic market, new opportunities are opening now.
