This week we share opportunities available to Networking Distributors in Botswana.
In our last issue, we touched on steps SADC has put in place to help countries source the best and most cost-effective range of networking and ICT infrastructure building products, tools and brands. We showed how Zambia and South Africa have increased their trade in Electrical and Electronic equipment over the years to take full advantage of the 4th Industrial Revolution opportunities.

This week we look at the role of networking distributors, networking companies, networking suppliers and networking installers in Botswana and the acceleration of infrastructure development projects such as those driven by Global Entrepreneurship Network Botswana (GEN).
The vision behind Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) and Global Entrepreneurship Week.
Botswana is one of the world’s great development success stories. Botswana was one of Africa’s poorest countries in the sixties and has made its way up the rankings to enter the top 100 wealthiest country’s in the world according to The World Bank. According to The World Bank, Botswana has transformed itself, moving into the ranks of upper-middle-income status to become one of the fastest growing economies in the world, with an average annual growth rate of about 9 percent.
Global Entrepreneurship Network Botswana, (GEN) under the leadership of Mooketsi Benedict Tekere is part of the next generation of development projects for the country. The goal of GEN is to connect Botswana’s entrepreneurship ecosystem to Africa’s growing scene of tech hubs.

How networking companies in Botswana can accelerate the vision of leading global entrepreneurs?
Leading entrepreneurs, governments and investment organisations from around the world have been at the forefront of funding, networking infrastructure projects that are putting Africa in a position to leapfrog into the 21st century’s digital and high-tech economy. GEN Botswana is using its influence to develop tech hubs across Botswana from Gaborone to Francis Town, Maun and other towns. The SADC free trade zone support structures have made it cheaper and more accessible than ever to buy networking equipment and networking distributors are taking advantage of the opportunity.
Networking distributors and networking companies tapping into the regional resources and expertise are rapidly and efficiently rolling out their projects. Companies such as Eurobyte Technology in South Africa have positioned themselves to make available all the necessary resources and documentation to utilise the free trade zone opportunities. A growing number of networking distributors and networking companies in Botswana are buying from Eurobyte. A key driver behind Eurobyte as a supplier of choice is their strong level of support and technical advice for networking installers in Botswana.

Why networking distributors in Botswana buy from South Africa
The SADC free trade zone facilitates favourable trade relations between Botswana and South Africa. The number of networking distributors and networking suppliers in Botswana, taking advantage of this opportunity to support their networking companies and networking installers is growing rapidly for several reasons. First, duties placed on products from other parts of the world make them expensive to import. Networking distributors in Botswana that buy within SADC do not have to worry about duties. Second, Eurobyte Technology has manufacturing facilities in Midrand, South Africa for several products in their range including server cabinets, laptop trolley’s, tablet trolley’s battery boxes, outdoor server cabinets, environmental server cabinets and more.
