HOW WE FUND BUSINESSES IN THE TEXTILES AND WOOD PRODUCTS SECTOR
About the Opportunity
The IDC’s strategic business unit (SBU) for textiles and wood offers support to various enterprises across both sectors. The textiles and wood sector focus ranges from home decor to leather goods producers to manufacturers of natural or synthetic fabrics. The wood sector focuses on the beneficiation of wood from the sawmilling process to the manufacturing of paper and packaging. The aim is to build a locally and regionally competitive industry through strategic partnerships that promote entrepreneurship and social and industrial development.
The unit works closely with the Clothing Textiles Competitiveness Program, a grant scheme managed on behalf of the DTIC.
