More than 158 exhibitors from a variety of industries, including banking, information technology, agriculture, and parastatals, exhibited their goods and services at the ongoing trade expo, which began last Tuesday and ended on Saturday. Additionally, the BBNTF is one of the major fairs which adds to the local economic value chain that benefits the hospitality, retail, informal, services, transportation, and health sectors. The 2025 edition of the Trade Fair was held under the theme 'Driving Economic Diversification, Innovation for Sustainable Growth'. In an interview with BusinessMonitor, the Francistown BBS branch manager Matlhogonolo Segotsane said that they expect a large number of attendees from the general public and corporations at this year's trade fair. She stated that since they have become a commercial bank, they are thrilled to share their products and services. According to Segotsane, they educated the public about their youth current account and the need for parents to teach their children financial literacy.
Insure Guard cluster team leader Mpho Lefowane said that this year’s edition is bigger than the previous one. She stated that they hoped that more people would visit the BB grounds so that they may utilise marketing to increase their brand's exposure.
