North West Business 2017 edition

Wesvaal Chamber of Business
First Annual Conference on Manufacturing and Renewable Energy
Date: 3-4 November 2017 | Venue: Protea Hotel, Klerksdorp
T
he Wesvaal Chamber of Business is proud to announce
that it will host the first annual regional conference on
Manufacturing and Renewable Energy in Klerksdorp in
November 2017.
As the City of Matlosana moves into the post-mining era,
the possibilities of the vibrant and growing renewable energy
sector are being explored. The City aims to be a Smart City
and present itself as an industrial precinct which is attractive
to local and international investors.
The conference aims to attract investors into the region.
The KOSH area (Klerksdorp, Orkney, Stilfontein and Hartbeesfontein)
already has significant manufacturing capacity and a
workforce with experience in mining, engineering and related
fields. The provincial development agency is keen to attract
manufacturers of solar panels to the North West: this
conference will provide an opportunity to explore these and
other options.
Access to good schools and colleges presents opportunities
for research and development and the closeness of the
area to the big markets of South Africa’s economic powerhouse,
Gauteng Province, provides obvious advantages.
Distinguished speakers will address topics such as:
• Energy Efficiency
• Funding for Development
• Manufacturing Incentives
• The Renewable Energy
Manufacturing Sector
• Solar Power: regional impact
