We are pleased to announce a significant research initiative led by undergraduate students at Northumbria University, UK – William, Rosie, Connor, and Jacob – in partnership with TAMI (The Africa Marketing Initiative). This initiative seeks to gather insights from South African business leaders to support the development of TAMI, a digital platform aimed at facilitating the international growth of South African enterprises, with a particular focus on the United Kingdom.
About TAMITAMI is designed to bridge the gap between South African businesses and high-quality international networks. By offering a digital platform tailored to the needs of businesses seeking to expand globally, TAMI aims to provide practical tools, resources, and connections to help enterprises access new markets, navigate regulatory environments, and collaborate effectively across borders.
Purpose of the ResearchThe goal of this research is to ensure that TAMI addresses real-world challenges faced by South African businesses exploring international trade. By collecting the perspectives of experienced business leaders, the students aim to identify the most effective strategies, barriers, and opportunities in global market engagement.
The research seeks input from professionals with experience in the following areas:
International trade and foreign market entry
Emerging economies and their business ecosystems
Digital collaboration or networking platforms
South African businesses with interest in international trade
Why Your Insights MatterSouth African businesses face unique challenges when entering foreign markets, including understanding regulatory frameworks, identifying strategic partners, and leveraging technology for effective networking. Insights from business leaders will provide TAMI with the practical knowledge required to design features and resources that truly meet the needs of enterprises.
This initiative also complements the work of DRG and BusinessFit, whose ongoing efforts aim to strengthen the South African business ecosystem and enable companies to access global trade opportunities with confidence. By participating in this research, business leaders contribute directly to shaping a platform that can enhance South Africa’s international trade presence.
How to ParticipateBusiness leaders are invited to complete a brief survey, which will take only a few minutes: https://lnkd.in/ebDM3wjn
