About

The CCBSA BizConnect Expo, proudly undertaken in partnership with IAAE as the implementation partner, continues to set the benchmark for supplier development within CCBSA's supply chain. This dynamic event serves as a hub for innovation, collaboration, and growth, tailored to meet the evolving needs of suppliers and empower them to achieve sustainable success.

This year’s theme, Growth Hacking, highlights the power of agile, results-driven strategies to unlock exponential business growth. With a focus on marketing, product development, and sales optimization, the event will equip attendees with actionable insights and tools to drive measurable impact.

The Expo offers a comprehensive three-tiered experience:

Plenary Sessions: Featuring thought leaders sharing insights on growth, innovation, and best practices.

Case Study Learning: Real-world examples of entrepreneurial success to inspire, educate, and provide practical takeaways.

Business Development Support: Access to resources and tools designed to enhance efficiency, scalability, and sustainability.

Access to Markets Exhibitions: An interactive platform where suppliers can network, showcase their capabilities, and unlock new business opportunities not only within the Coca-Cola ecosystem but also with other organizations.

By fostering collaboration, promoting diversity, and emphasizing shared values of quality, innovation, and community impact, the Expo aims to strengthen supplier relationships, expand market access, and drive collective success across the Coca-Cola SME ecosystem and beyond.
