investment incentives<br />
The South African government, particularly the Department of Trade and Industry,<br />
has a range of incentives available to investors, existing companies,<br />
entrepreneurs and co-operatives across many sectors.<br />
South Africa wishes to diversify its economy<br />
and incentives are an important part of<br />
the strategy to attract investors to the<br />
country. The Department of Trade and<br />
Industry (the dti) is the lead agency in the incentives<br />
programme, which aims to encourage local and<br />
foreign investment into targeted economic sectors,<br />
but the Industrial Development Corporation<br />
(IDC) is the most influential funder of projects across<br />
South Africa.<br />
There a variety of incentives available and these<br />
incentives can broadly be categorised according to<br />
the stage of project development:<br />
• Conceptualisation of the project –<br />
including feasibility studies and research<br />
and development (grants for R&D and<br />
feasibility studies, THRIP, Stp, etc)<br />
• Capital expenditure – involving the creation<br />
or expansion of the productive capacity<br />
of businesses (MCEP, EIP, CIP, FIG, etc)<br />
• Competitiveness enhancement –<br />
involving the introduction of efficiencies<br />
and whetting the competitive edge of<br />
established companies and commercial<br />
or industrial sectors (BBSDP, EMIA,<br />
CTCIP, etc)<br />
