The North West Provincial Government today launched the North West Business Enterprise
Database, a strategic initiative designed to profile and support local enterprises in driving
inclusive economic growth.
The launch event, held at Ga-Rona Building in Mahikeng, was led by MEC Kenetswe Mosenogi,
who highlighted the database’s role in addressing historical inequalities and unlocking
opportunities for small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs), youth and women-owned
businesses, and rural entrepreneurs.
“Our province has immense economic potential, yet opportunities have not always been
accessible to all. This database is a bold step towards levelling the playing field and catalysing
inclusive economic transformation,” said MEC Mosenogi.
The North West Business Enterprise Database will enable the provincial government to build a
comprehensive directory of active and dormant enterprises, enhance visibility of local suppliers,
and connect businesses to public procurement and private investment opportunities.
While the Central Supplier Database (CSD) remains mandatory for all suppliers doing business
with government, the provincial database complements it by offering province-specific profiling
and supporting targeted economic interventions.
Enterprises can register through three convenient platforms which are the departmental
website, the official NWPTWhatsApp channel, and a QR code distributed during the launch.
MEC Mosenogi called on all government departments, municipalities, state agencies, and
corporate partners to assist businesses in registering, ensuring widespread participation and
maximum impact.
“This initiative reflects our commitment to ensuring that every rand spent by government
delivers tangible benefits to our communities—creating jobs, sustaining livelihoods, and building
a more resilient provincial economy,” added MEC Mosenogi.
