In an era defined by resilience and innovation, the 2025 Trade and Investment Convention (TIC) is proving to be more than just a trade show—it’s a launchpad for small businesses ready to scale, export, and thrive. At TIC, the spotlight isn’t reserved for conglomerates. From artisan snacks to eco-friendly packaging solutions, micro and small enterprises are commanding attention.
Over 90 small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) have taken the stage, many of which started during the pandemic and have since evolved into recognizable supermarket brands. The Sunday Business Guardian visited the TIC on Friday and spoke to SMEs to garner what they hope to achieve from this year’s event.
