The expo which has been organised since 2016 is part of the market access interventions of BEDCO and TEN to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). 

It is aimed at unlocking the market access for the MSMEs products and services. It is also expected to create a platform for them to network among themselves and with their potential clients. The Expo is further aimed at demonstrating the value of the private sector in the economic development of the country as its 'engine-room'. It will also be used as a platform for youth empowerment.
BEDCO is a private sector development agency of Lesotho, which contributes to the economic development of Lesotho through growth of entrepreneurship. It has been in existence for the last 38 years since its inception in 1980. It has helped in the promotion of indigenous Basotho-owned enterprises and has helped many start, operate and graduate to become medium and large enterprises.
