Investing in South Africa is a Sound Business Choice

by Glenda Capman

Cape Town, which is the business center of the Western Cape of South Africa, has made a renewed commitment to attract more business to this area of the Southern Hemisphere. Over the past years, the Western Cape of South Africa has worked through its political strife to make this area a phenomenal place to do business. The Cape Town International Convention Center, which opened in 2003, is a symbol of the resources being put into this effort to make this part of South Africa an attractive venue for new and existing businesses alike.

Cape Town didn’t stop there. They have also extensively renovated the entire downtown to provide businesses with new office spaces, eateries, shopping, and other venues to make conducting business here more convenient. As a result, many major corporations have decided to move their headquarters to the four business modules located downtown, the center of business for the Western Cape of South Africa.

The Western Cape of South Africa also has a very functional and extensive public transit system to get office workers to the business district. First, there are two long distance trains that bring passengers from other cities on a daily basis. Then, once visitors arrive in Cape Town, there is a local metro rail system that can take visitors any where they wish to go in the city.

For business travelers who are farther away, the Cape Town International Airport is conveniently located to allow people to get to the business district easily. The airport is the largest on the Western Cape of South Africa, and has been upgraded to handle more flights daily, both internationally and domestically.

The Port of Cape Town, the Western Cape of South Africa’s major seaport, handles the export of agriculture as well as the export of all manufactured goods for the region. This is important, because the western Cape is the largest manufacturer and agriculture grower in South Africa. It is also home to major ship building companies who are headquartered in the central business district.

The higher education system provides the Western Cape of South Africa with top notch graduates to fill the job pool for major corporations. The University of Cape Town and Stellenbosch University are both located here. These are the top two leading higher institutions in South Africa.

Cape Town provides international businesses a way to advertise through their major sporting events. The Western Cape of South Africa is home to international events including rugby, soccer, surfing, hockey, and sailing. Many large corporations sponsor these events in return for global publicity and commercial time on their satellite broadcasts.

The Western Cape of South Africa is dedicated to all aspects of international business. This means providing adequate office space, hotel rooms, air travel, shipping ports, local transportation, and an educated work force. The Western Cape of South Africa is a great place to launch and operate any successful business enterprise, large or small.
