The formation of Limpopo Business Support Agency is a resultant of the Provincial Growth and Development Strategy, which focused on exploiting opportunities in all the economic sectors for business development and promotion amongst existing and aspiring entrepreneurs in the whole Limpopo Province. Although the mandate of LIBSA is to focus mainly on the growth sectors, the scope of services to the business community is far beyond the scope given the dynamic environment within which LIBSA operates.
Central to the mandate of LIBSA, it is its role to promote enterprises in the sectors of Mining, Tourism, Agriculture, Manufacturing and Construction and Information Communication Technology into the mainstream economy. To this end LIBSA appreciates that the success of the institution to drive economic development in the lifeblood of enterprises lies in its ability to grow organically in terms of Geographic Spread, Research and Development, Information Management Systems and Skilled Human Element.
With an evolvement of the strategies on an ongoing basis, LIBSA provides business support services to the broader business minded population by stimulating the spirit of entrepreneurship amongst women, the disabled and the youth. The contribution of this institution in Limpopo Province could best be summarized as:
• Reducing poverty
• Stimulating economic growth
• Creating wealth
• Entrenching entrepreneurial concepts and practices in rural and economically disadvantaged communities.
• Turning Business Ideas into Reality
