PLUS. The LGBTI+ Business Network was founded in 2017 – with the backing of America’s National LGBT Chamber of Commerce and the Other Foundation – as Africa’s first LGBTIQ+ chamber of commerce. Supporting South African LGBTIQ+ businesses and entrepreneurs, in particular its members, is the core mission and vision of the organisation. It has hosted several successful networking events around the country, including four ground-breaking LGBTIQ+ Business Summits in Sandton, attending by leading corporations. A focus of the events has been to advocate for LGBTIQ+ inclusion in companies’ supply chains to promote inclusive economic growth.
